    Gallstone ileus diagnosis was missed preoperatively in six patients presenting with acute intestinal obstruction. Minimal surgical intervention to restore bowel continuity was effective, with five of six patients recovering.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Surgery
    • Digestive Diseases

    Context:

    • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.
    • Diagnosis is often delayed due to non-specific symptoms.
    • Surgical intervention is typically required for intestinal obstruction.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the diagnostic challenges and surgical management of gallstone ileus.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of minimal surgical interventions.

    Summary:

    • Six patients underwent surgery for acute ileus, with gallstones found unexpectedly in the intestinal lumen.
    • Surgical management focused on enterolithotomy and, when necessary, intestinal resection to restore continuity.
    • Five patients survived, while one patient died.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of considering gallstone ileus in patients with unexplained bowel obstruction.
    • Demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of conservative surgical approaches.
    • Provides insights into patient outcomes for this rare condition.
