Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now the operation of choice for sympto matic gall-bladder stones. Two cases of retained free intra-peritoneal gall-stones following this procedure are described; the first resulti ng in a peritoneal granuloma and causing initial confusion in diagnosi s, and the second seen incidentally in a biloma. In the appropriate cl inical setting free intra-peritoneal gall-stones must be added to the differential diagnosis of abdominal and pelvic calcification.
