A rare case of recurrent bile duct stones after gallbladder removal was caused by surgical suture material. This highlights challenges in diagnosing and treating this unusual post-surgical complication.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery

Background:

  • Postcholecystectomy syndrome can manifest with various complications.
  • Recurrent choledochal calculosis typically arises from retained or newly formed stones within the bile duct.

Observation:

  • A unique case of recurrent choledochal calculosis was identified in a patient following cholecystectomy.
  • The causative agent was determined to be a retained suture thread from the surgical procedure.

Findings:

  • Suture material can lead to the formation of bile duct stones, a rare cause of postcholecystectomy calculosis.
  • Preoperative diagnosis of suture-induced calculosis is challenging due to its rarity and potential mimicry of other conditions.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering foreign bodies, such as suture threads, in the differential diagnosis of recurrent bile duct stones.
