When a T-tube is in situ after cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration, the treatment of choice for retained common duct stones is removal through the T-tube tract. Tract disruption during stone removal is uncommon. It may be a significant complication resulting in biliary peritonitis. We report a case of tract disruption during removal of a stone through a T-tube tract and discuss its management.
