CholedochoClip: A Case of Obstructive Jaundice 14 Years after Cholecystectomy

Abstract EN

Gallstone disease is a common gastrointestinal pathology that may result in surgical intervention.

While cholecystectomy has relatively minimal risks, surgical clip migration is a rare complication that can cause severe morbidity and mortality.

This report describes a rare phenomenon of a biliary stone forming onto a migrated surgical clip 14 years after cholecystectomy causing an obstructive jaundice.

This case illustrates the importance of keeping a migrated surgical clip on the differential when encountering patients with symptoms of cholangitis after cholecystectomy.
