Abstract
A 52-year-old man presented to the emergency department with a one-day history of epigastric pain. The patient reported a remote history of a “difficult” laparoscopic cholecystectomy that was converted to an open cholecystectomy in 1994. Further operative details were unavailable. Multiple radiologic studies were obtained, all demonstrating a saccular cystic structure in the gallbladder fossa containing calculi. A completion open cholecystectomy, or “recholecystectomy,” revealed a remnant gallbladder with cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. Multimodality imaging findings are reviewed.
