Abstract :
Letter to the Editor: Cholecystolithiasis with acute cholecystitis is a rare, late biliary complication occurring in liver transplantation (LT) recipients who received the liver graft with preserved donor’s gallbladder. Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is not contraindicated after upper abdominal surgery, misunderstanding of the biliary anatomy due to inflammatory phenomena or severe adhesion might increase the risk of bile duct injury (BDI) (1).
