Abstract:

The use of a T-tube to drain the biliary tree after choledochotomy has been a common surgical practice. Inadvertent fracture of the T-tube limb during removal is a rare occurrence which can lead to several complications. We report a case of cholangitis caused by a T-tube fragment retained in the common bile duct 36 years after cholecystectomy.
