title: Use of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to dislodge clip impingement on the common hepatic duct.
abstract: Despite advances in technical skill, bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is not an uncommon complication. We describe a technique of using ERCP, sphincterotomy, and balloon dilatation to dislodge clip impingement on the common hepatic duct after laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
