Giant Intrahepatic Subcapsular Haematoma: A Rare Complication following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy—A Case Report and Literature Review by Eltaib Saad, Lauren O’Connell, Anne M. Browne, W. Khan, R. Waldron, K. Barry, Iqbal Z. Khan

“…We report on a 59-year-old female with symptomatic cholelithiasis on a background of morbid obesity who underwent an elective LC with an uncomplicated intraoperative course; however, she experienced a refractory hypotension within one hour postoperatively with an acute haemoglobin drop requiring fluid resuscitation and blood transfusion. A triphasic computed tomography scan revealed a large intrahepatic subcapsular haematoma (ISH) measuring 21 cm×3.1 cm×17 cm surrounding the lateral surface of the right hepatic lobe without active bleeding. …”
