For choledocholithiasis, endoscopic management is the first line of treatment. Both Dormia basket and balloon catheter are used to retrieve common bile duct (CBD) stones. Here we present a case of impaction of the Dormia basket during an endoscopic procedure. The patient was managed through laparoscopic choledochotomy, and the basket was found to be impacted with a common bile stone of size 18 mm. The stone was disengaged from the basket and, by holding the tip of the basket, was removed through one of the laparoscopic ports.

For years, evacuation of stones using endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) has been the first-line treatment. In 10-15% of cases, gallstones cannot be removed using the above-mentioned method and auxiliary methods are necessary; these are so-called difficult gallstones.

Choledocholithiasis, characterized by the presence of stones in the common bile duct, poses significant challenges in clinical management, particularly when the stones are massive. While endoscopic methods are often effective in stone removal, complications such as the impaction of foreign bodies like Dormia baskets can occur. These complications may necessitate alternative approaches, including surgical intervention, highlighting the importance of exploring innovative interventional techniques.
