Abstract
Biliary ascariasis is one of the most common types of ascaris infections. The current treatments are helminthic drug therapy, endoscopic extraction, and surgical extraction. A case of biliary ascariasis and cholecystocholedocholithiasis was successfully treated by laparoscopic extraction of the living worm and biliary stones. This procedure was found to be very effective for biliary ascariasis with biliary stones, and it holds promise for similar cases in the future.Entities:
