Case Report-Delayed cholangitis due to a retained T-tube fragment

Biliary drainage with T-tube after bile duct exploration has some advantages. However, the use of T-tube is associated with significant complications. Retained T-tube fragment is a rare complication after biliary surgery. We present an unusual case of delayed cholangitis resulting from a retained T-tube fragment and common bile duct stones, occurring four years after previous bile duct exploration in the case of colon cancer. We recommend early removal of a missing fragment to avoid potential serious complications.
