Cystic duct remnant stone removal by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Abstract

Cystic duct remnant calculus (CDRC) is an important cause of postcholecystectomy syndrome.[1] Open assess cholecystectomy or laparoscopic cholecystectomy of the remnant duct is effective and considered to be preferred treatment. We report a case of 65-year-old female patient, a poor surgical candidate with CDRC who presented to us with biliary pain and obstructive jaundice secondary to common bile duct (CBD) stones, in whom CDRC was extracted during CBD clearance by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.
