Key Points

To investigate the cause of obstructive jaundice in a patient post-cholecystectomy.
Case report of a 70-year-old woman with obstructive jaundice after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Computed tomography used to identify the presence of a common bile duct stone.
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) utilized for further assessment.
Obstructive jaundice attributed to a common bile duct stone.
High-density core on CT scan suggested a migrated metallic surgical clip.

Implication

Case report discusses migrated surgical clip causing obstructive jaundice, suggesting surgical oversight.

Abstract

A 70-year-old woman was admitted with obstructive jaundice 18 months after undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Lap-C).Computed tomography revealed a common bile duct (CBD) stone with a high-density core, thus raising suspicion of a migrated metallic surgical clip (Picture A).Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
