Abstract

Common bile duct (CBD) stones are encountered in 14%-15% of patients with symptomatic gall stone disease. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a primary modality for the management of pancreaticobiliary disorders. We present a case of unintentional stent placement into the gall bladder discovered during surgery.

Keywords: acute cholecystitis; biliary stent; cholengitis; ercp.
