I had my gall bladder removed. I had no idea that's what the stones looked like. Interesting.
I told you not to get that mogwai wet!
Those cluster-type stones look like the stress balls that get posted here every now and then. I've seen gallstones before, but none that looked like the ones in this video!
This is removal of stones from the common bile duct via ERCP (an endoscopic approach), in contrast to say, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy ("lap chole") for removal of a gall bladder with gall stones.
