Migração de clipe metálico para úlcera duodenal após colecistectomia videolaparoscópica: Ligaclip migration into a duodenal ulcer following laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Abstract

We report a rare cause of pyloric stenosis caused by migration of surgical clips into a duodenal ulcer following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Even after endoscopic removal of the clips the inflammatory reaction during the healing process caused a stenosis of the pylorus that eventually required a truncal vagotomy and gastroenterostomy.
