Clips migration to duodenum as a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Abstract
Endoclip migration into
the duodenum is an extremely rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
The patients usually present with bleeding ulcer. Here we report a 65-year-old
female patient with a complaint of abdominal pain and dyspepsia due to clip
migration into the duodenum after laparoscopic cholecystectomy secondary to
symptomatic cholelithiasis 15 months previously. Ultrasonography and liver
function tests were normal. Endoscopy showed metal clips in the second part of
duodenum. The clips were removed endoscopically. No active bleeding was noted.
In this case report, we present diagnosis and management of clips migration
into wall of duodenum as a complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
