[Iatrogenic common bile duct calculosis. Results of choledochorrhaphy with non-absorbable suture material]

The use of non-absorbable suture material during the surgery of the choledochus can be a cause of choledocholithiasis. An interesting case of a female patient who underwent author's observation for recurrent cholangitis with partial pathological obstruction of the common bile duct after cholecystectomy (1948) and choledochotomy for choledocholithiasis (1977) is reported.
