[Endoclip on the cystic duct after laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

We report on a case that occurred after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a 70-year-old man, where a polymer endoclip placed on the cystic duct migrated into the common bile duct. The clip migration was detected two months after surgery during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography, when a stone and the clip were removed. Based on this and other similar cases, we suggest the use of absorbable clips in laparascopic cholecystectomy.
