SCHAERER, Pablo  and  RAMIREZ, Andrea. Incidental intraoperative finding of subcapsular liver hematoma post-ERCP. Case report. Cir. parag. [online]. 2022, vol.46, n.2, pp.27-29. ISSN 2307-0420.  https://doi.org/10.18004/sopaci.2022.agosto.27.

The presence of a subcapsular hepatic hematoma (SHH) after an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an uncommon complication of this procedure; only a few dozens of cases have been reported to this date. This is the case of a 28-year-old woman in whom a very large hepatic hematoma was incidentally found during cholecystectomy after an ERCP due to choledocholithiasis. The hematoma was treated conservatively with subsequent percutaneous drainage in an outpatient context.

Keywords : subcapsular hepatic hematoma; ERCP; cholecystectomy.
