AbstractPneumothorax is a rare complication of pneumoperitoneum. We report a case of spontaneous bilateral pneumothorax during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The history, pathogenesis, and therapeutic options of this unusual occurrence are discussed. Because laparoscopic operations have become increasingly popular in recent years, we call attention to this rare but potentially life-threatening complication.
