%X Spilled gallstones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy can potentially lead to serious complications in patients. We present a case of a patient with gallstone spillage during cholecystectomy who was found years later to have gallstones stuck in a difficult location, requiring robotic surgery. A robotic approach allows for greater visual angles compared to conventional laparoscopy. The patient tolerated the robotic procedure successfully, and no patient symptoms were reported during follow-up. This case addresses retained gallstones for difficult anatomical positions and confirms that a robotic abdominal approach is a safe, minimally invasive option.
