    This case study details a patient with acute cholecystitis and retained gallstones. Surgical attempts to remove intrahepatic stones failed, leading to biliary enteric drainage.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Hepatobiliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Acute cholecystitis presents with abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting.
    • Biliary imaging, such as technetium-99m scans, confirms gallbladder inflammation.
    • Pigment stones in the common bile duct require prompt management.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with symptoms of acute cholecystitis.
    • Inflamed gallbladder and common bile duct stones were identified.
    • Numerous retained gallstones were found in the right hepatic duct radicles.

    Findings:

    • Standard and extended choledochotomy failed to remove intrahepatic gallstones.
    • Saline flushing was ineffective in dislodging retained stones.
    • Choledochoduodenostomy successfully established biliary enteric drainage.

    Implications:

    • Complex intrahepatic gallstone removal poses significant surgical challenges.
    • Biliary enteric drainage offers a palliative solution when stone extraction is not feasible.
    • Effective management of retained gallstones is crucial for preventing complications.
