Abstract

Laparoscopic surgeries are known to have their own set of complications. We report the case of a middle-aged lady who developed ascites of unknown origin, immediately, following laparoscopic cholecystectomy and hysterectomy. Though most cases are attributed to unidentified bowel, biliary tree, urinary tract and lymphatic system injuries, after reviewing medical literature, we found a few case reports pointing towards allergic reaction to co2, glutaraldehyde or electrocautery and formaldehyde being rare causes of ascites following laparoscopy.
