Abstract [en]

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most common procedures done worldwide. Post-surgical site infections are common, yet there are occurrences of uncommon complications, including port site tuberculosis (TB). We report a case of a 62-year-old man who was the victim of post-surgical site infection of port sites caused probably by improper sterilization. The patient lacked any common symptoms of tuberculosis and his initial lab investigations were not affirmative. A biopsy depicting the growth of multiple epithelioid granulomas finally led to the diagnosis of port site tuberculosis. The patient was treated by incision and drainage followed by anti-tubercular therapy. This treatment regime showed complete resolution of disease on follow-ups. Such cases require multidisciplinary team (Surgery, Pathology and Infectious disease department in our case) inputs for prompt diagnosis and treatment.
