A 59-year-old woman had symptomatic gallbladder stones. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed using absorbable clips. Eleven weeks later, recent pain in the right upper quadrant and interscapular resulted in an ERCP. This examination demonstrated two Absolok Plus clips migrated in the biliary tract. We question the use of those clips and discuss the migration mechanism.

Carbohydrates, lipids, bile acids, various inorganic salt ions and organic acids are the main nutrients or indispensable components of the human body. Dysregulation in the processes of absorption, transport, metabolism, and excretion of these metabolites can lead to the onset of severe metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, gout and hyperbilirubinemia. As the second largest membrane receptor supergroup, several major families in the solute carrier (SLC) supergroup have been found to play key roles in the transport of substances such as carbohydrates, lipids, urate, bile acids, monocarboxylates and zinc ions.
