Abstract
The laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which was originally developed in Europe, is now gaining wide acceptance due to a less painful surgery, a shortened hospital stay and less scarring. But the laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reported serious complications such as, gallbladder bed hemorrhage, bile duct injury, jejunal perforation and rarely dislocation and migration of the surgical clips. We report a 61-year-old man with obstructive jaundice that was generated surgical clips migration into the common bile duct, who had undergone a laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of acute calculous cholecystitis 7 months ago. Abdominal CT scan revealed multiple clips into the distal CBD and mild dilatation of intrahepatic biliary tree. The clips were removed using basket after endoscopic sphincterotomy.(Korean J Med 69:S772-S776, 2005)
Key Words: Surgical clips, Migration, Obstructive jaundice
