Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis (gallstones).
  • It accounts for a small percentage of acute intestinal obstruction and cholelithiasis surgeries.

Observation:

  • Presents three cases of intestinal obstruction caused by gallstones.
  • This condition lacks typical symptoms, making diagnosis challenging.

Findings:

  • Clinical analysis of patient complaints, medical history, and abdominal examination aids in suspecting biliary ileus.
  • Emergency surgery should focus on relieving the obstruction.

Implications:

  • Simultaneous repair of biliodigestive fistulas requires individualized patient assessment.
  • Early recognition and prompt surgical management are key for favorable outcomes in gallstone ileus.
