ABSTRACT
We report the case of a patient presenting with a chronic groin sinus secondary to a tubal ligation clip migration (Filshie clip) 21 years after the laparoscopic sterilisation took place. Our case report adds to the small number of cases describing tubal clip migration with resultant local sepsis. Although this is a rare complication, it should be borne in mind for women who have undergone tubal clip ligation and present with recurrent or chronic groin, perineal or peri-anal sepsis.
