Abstract A case of cholangitis due to the migration of a metal clip used for surgical cholecystectomy 4 years
earlier, is reported. The diagnostic approach and therapeutic options, either endoscopic or surgical are
discussed. The use of resorbable clips during the performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy should
avoid this type of complication. | ||||
