Abstract.
A 69-year-old man developed obstructive jaundice 6 months after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography suggested a common bile duct (CD) stone. A second operation was performed, and this revealed a CBD stone with an endoclip as a nidus. Since laparoscopic surgery has become a very common procedure, endoclips are used more frequently. Therefore, careful surveillance and strict follow-up are stressed to avoid CBD stone and various other complications caused by endoclips.
