Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is an important technique for treating biliary obstruction. A case report of a 75-year-old male with diagnosed choledocholithiasis and cholangitis was presented. He had a history of hepatic surgery 45 years ago, and during the ERCP, an unusual clinical scenario was encountered. Retained extraction basket during ERCP is a rare but known complication and there are no standard recommendations to manage it. To our knowledge, this is the first case report described in the literature with retention of an extraction basket in surgical sutures at ERCP and the longest period from surgery to stone formation in the biliary system. This case report aims to emphasize that in patients with a history of hepatobiliary surgery, postoperative material can cause complications during ERCP.
