Trouble from the abdominal cavity: an unusual foreign body secondary to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Gastric foreign bodies are frequently seen in children and the elderly. In adults, most foreign bodies are caused by accidental ingestion and 80 % or more of them are likely to pass spontaneously.
