Colonic gallstones are rare and challenging to diagnose, often presenting as bowel obstruction. A single-stage surgical approach involving enterolithotomy, cholecystectomy, and fistula closure is effective for this condition.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Colonic gallstones are an uncommon cause of bowel obstruction.
  • Diagnosis is challenging due to non-specific symptoms, particularly in elderly patients with comorbidities.

Observation:

  • An 81-year-old woman presented with large bowel obstruction.
  • Laparotomy revealed a cholecysto-colonic fistula as the cause.

Findings:

  • A single-stage surgical procedure was performed.
  • This included enterolithotomy, cholecystectomy, and fistula closure.

Implications:

  • A single-stage approach is considered ideal for managing colonic gallstone complications.
  • This case highlights effective surgical management and discusses alternative options.
