title: Periampullary duodenal diverticulum in a patient undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
abstract: Duodenal diverticulae are acquired lesions usually found near the papilla of Vater and associated with significant symptoms. We present a case of a patient with obstructive jaundice who had a diverticulum and cholelithiasis. The management of this scenario is explained in the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
