Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration for retained biliary stent removal after one anastomosis gastric bypass: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cholelithiasis is common following metabolic and bariatric surgery (MBS), with gallstones developing in up to one-third of patients due to rapid weight loss and metabolic changes. Procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB) alter gastrointestinal anatomy, complicating endoscopic access to the biliary tree and presenting challenges in the management of choledocholithiasis. This report highlights the relationship between MBS and biliary complications, using a case of post-OAGB cholangitis due to a retained stent to illustrate broader management considerations.
