Abstract
Successful laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been reported in patients with cirrhosis of liver with portal hypertension; the procedure has, however, not been reported in patients with portal vein thrombosis, portal cavernoma and portal hypertension. We report an 18-year-old man with portal hypertension due to portal vein thrombosis and portal cavernoma who had symptomatic gallstone disease and was successfully treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Entities:
