Abstract
Summary Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is rapidly becoming the treatment of choice for symptomatic gall stone disease. However, recent reports of serious wound complications have begun to appear in the literature. We report three such cases involving wound fistula, hernia and metastases including how these may have been avoided.Keywords
