Abstract
ABSTRACT Obstructive jaundice due to biliary foreign bodies are extremely rare and most of reported cases are due to materials used in the previous surgical procedures. Organic foreign bodies in Common Bile Duct (CBD) are still very rare and here we present a very unusual organic foreign body drumstic in CBD in a 56-year-old man presenting as biliary colic and jaundice. This is the first reported case of organic foreign body drumstick in Common Bile Duct, operated by laparoscopic CBD exploration.
