Endoscopic procedures are widely used for the management of bile duct stones. Pancreatitis, haemorrhage, cholangitis and intestinal perforation are the most commonly reported complications. Impaction of stone-retrieving devices such as Dormia basket is rare. It can be removed using a smaller basket, balloons, percutaneous transhepatic removal, laparoscopic retrieval or even through laparotomy. In our case, it was feasible and safe using the post cut technique which is a type of a second biliary sphincterotomy performed after a previous sphincterotomy in order to enlarge the papillary orifice and to extract the impacted Dormia basket.
