  • Surgical Oncology
  • Abdominal Surgery

Context:

  • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.
  • It presents diagnostic challenges and requires surgical intervention.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic methods and surgical outcomes for gallstone ileus.
  • To assess the safety and efficacy of surgical management.

Summary:

  • Eleven patients with gallstone ileus underwent surgery over seven years.
  • Barium studies achieved 100% diagnostic accuracy, while echography had 37%.
  • Simple enterolithotomy was performed in 8 cases; 3 had additional biliary surgery. No mortality occurred.

Impact:

  • Preoperative diagnosis was achieved in 72.2% of cases.
