Abstract

A 29-year female presented with recurrent biliary colic within few days of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystolihiasis. Magnetic resonance cholangiography demonstrated the presence of remnant gallbladder with the stone. Laparoscopic surgery was performed for removal of remnant gallbladder and stone with success. Early recurrence of biliary pain heightened suspicion of retained gallstone disease and need evaluation of biliary tract. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
