Spilled gallstones left in the abdominal cavity or trapped at trocar sites may cause considerable morbidity. We saw a patient with an abdominal wall abscess 2 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy secondary to spilled stones. After we reviewed the operative procedure in addition to the accumulated experience in laparoscopic surgery, we believe that retrieval of specimens and their contents is of paramount importance, especially when the gallbladder is infected, contains several stones, or may harbor malignancy. Therefore, we made use of a simple surgical glove with a long pursestring suture surrounding the opening to collect the specimen. This method proved to be simple and quite convenient, with the needed materials readily available. It can collect the spilled stones within the abdominal cavity as well as the gallbladder and can transport these stones out of the abdominal cavity with ease and safety. It also protects the specimen in contact with the wound and cuts short the operating time. The technique and advantages are described.
