Abstract:
Three cases of intestinal obstruction due to obturation with gallstones are presented. These patients made 1,3% of all patients operated for acute intestinal obstruction and 0,2% of all patients operated for cholelithiasis. This variant of intestinal obstruction is rare disease and is not characterized with a typical picture and specific symptoms. Analysis of complaints, anamnesis, additional methods of abdominal examination help to suspect biliary ileus. In emergency cases scope of surgery must be minimal and directed to adequate elimination of intestinal obstruction. Indications for simultaneous disjunction of biliodigestive fistula depend on many factors which must be regarded individually for each patient.
