Abstract
Ascites immediately following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is an extremely rare complication. Occasionally, no definitive aetiology can be ascertained despite a meticulous work-up. In such cases, idiopathic, allergic or an abnormal inflammatory peritoneal reaction may be the ultimate diagnosis. We present a case of ascites following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy presumed to be caused by a reaction to diathermy, and discuss its management.
