Abstract:
A case of recurrent common bile duct stones 2 years following laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration in a 52-year-old man is reported. Surgical material as a nidus for recurrent stone formation has been reported and occurred in the present case. Factors influencing metallic clip migration after biliary surgery are discussed, with recommendations for decreasing recurrent stones caused by foreign material.
