Abstract

Cholecystoduodenal fistula (CDF) is a rare and complex complication of chronic cholecystitis and gallstone disease, characterized by an abnormal communication between the gallbladder and duodenum. This report presents the case of a 31-year-old male who presented with right upper quadrant pain, nausea, and jaundice. Imaging studies confirmed a scleroatrophic gallbladder and a CFD. The patient underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy with partial gallbladder excision, and the fistula was successfully repaired with laparoscopic techniques, including clip application and intracorporeal suturing to invaginate the defect. This case underscores the importance of advanced laparoscopic skills and multidisciplinary approaches in managing complex biliary pathologies.

Keywords:
  • : Cholecystoduodenal fistula, sclerotic gallbladder, laparoscopic surgery, biliary diseases, advanced surgical techniques.
