    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Surgical interventions near biliary pathways may involve non-resorbable materials.
    • Understanding potential complications is crucial for patient safety.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of biliary calculi formation were observed.
    • Calculi developed on non-resorbable threads near biliary pathways or on the cystic stump.

    Findings:

    • Non-resorbable threads can serve as a nidus for biliary calculi development.
    • Literature review supports the process of calculus formation around foreign bodies.

    Implications:

    • Surgeons must consider the risk of calculus formation when using non-resorbable threads in biliary surgery.
    • Clinical judgment and surgical experience are vital for managing such cases.
