“…Adult worms live in the small intestine, mostly in the jejunum [2,6]. These parasites have a propensity to explore orifices, ducts, and cavities [2,3,[6][7]. They can migrate to bizarre places such as the biliary tree, pancreatic ducts, lungs, appendix, Meckel's diverticulum, and peritoneal cavity [2,[4][5][6][7].…”

We report a surprising case of intraoperatively detected worm obstruction of a hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis. The patient presented with acute cholangitis including fever, abdominal pain, obstructive jaundice and sepsis. Six years earlier, she had undergone open cholecystectomy with a right subcostal incision. Ultrasonography that night depicted the absence of the gall bladder and the presence of apparent stones in the common hepatic and common bile ducts. The patient was posted for laparoscopic exploration of common bile duct. Intraoperatively, worm obstruction was found in the hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis created during the previous operation. The obstruction was managed laparoscopically, and the patient recovered without any complications and was monitored for two years. In a search of PubMed and Google Scholar, we found reports of laparoscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography as an established method of relieving hepaticojejunostomy obstruction; however, we found no case of laparoscopic extraction of obstructing worms. Laparoscopic exploration of a hepaticojejunostomy anastomosis through the afferent Roux loop is a feasible and safe alternative to other advanced methods of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, for which special technique, logistics, and training are required but may not be available in many parts of the world.
