SummaryA surgical clip in the cystic pedicle migrating to the duodenum is a rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Usually patients present with bleeding ulcer. We report a case of postcholecystectomy pain due to clip migration into the duodenum. This was a case of postcholecystectomy pain 4 months after LC was performed. Ultrasonography and liver function tests were normal. Endoscopy showed two clips at the base of a small duodenal ulcer. Removal of the clips treated the complication. This rare complication can be a cause of postcholecystectomy pain. A good surgical technique using the utmost care can reduce the incidence of such a complication
