Abstract:
Foreign bodies from the main bile duct are rare. We report the case of a 61-year-old patient who presented an acute cholangitis on a choledochal foreign body after sphincterotomy. Under laparoscopy, we did a cholecystectomy and a choledocotomy with choledocoscopy which allowed us an extraction of three choledocious lithiasis. Operative sequences were simple under cover of an adapted antibiotic therapy.
