HEPATIC SUBCAPSULAR HEMATOMA FOLLOWING LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY: A CASE REPORT
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Key Words
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, hepatic subcapsular hematoma, postoperative complication, endovascular embolization
Background
Hepatic subcapsular hematoma is a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, with few cases reported in the literature. Injury to the liver parenchyma or liver capsule tears during gallbladder traction, anatomical variations in the hepatic vascular system and coagulopathy due to NSAIDS have all been proposed as possible associations.
Methods
We report a case of a 56-year-old female patient who developed a subcapsular hepatic hematoma after undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, who was successfully treated by endovascular embolization.
Conclusion
Hepatic subcapsular hematoma is an infrequent complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy that could be treated endovascularly.
