Abstract:
Complications related to cholecystectomy occur in <3% of patients. Endoclip migration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with hepatolithiasis is an extremely rare complication. We report a case of hepatolithiasis secondary to endoclip migration after laparoscopic cholecystectomy treated successfully via right hepatectomy. A 35-year-old female presented with upper abdominal pain, fever and vomiting 9 years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for chronic calculus cholecystitis. Laboratory investigation revealed gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase of 550 U/L and alkaline phosphatase of 350 U/L. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography revealed a dilated intrahepatic bile duct in segment 6 filled with stones. After preoperative evaluation, a right hepatectomy was performed using the intermittent Pringle maneuver. The postoperative recovery was uneventful and the patient was well after 4 months of follow-up. Although rare, endoclip migration should be considered in patients presenting with intrahepatic lithiasis even many years after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Liver resection may be necessary in cases of failure of endoscopic extraction.
