Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is gaining increasing acceptance as a mode of minimally invasive surgery. We describe a peculiar gynecologic complication following uncomplicated laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Our patient presented with a four-month history of subacute pelvic pain, primarily located in the right lower quadrant, two years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Diagnostic laparoscopy revealed a hemaclip embedded in the right ovarian capsule of an otherwise normal pelvis. The hemaclip had probably dislodged from its original site of placement in the upper abdomen, and migrated to the dependent portions of the pelvis, where it implanted in a follicular stigma and became affixed to the ovarian capsule. The hemaclip was removed without complications, and the patient's symptoms improved.
