    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Context:

    • Gallstone ileus presents unique diagnostic and management challenges.
    • A retrospective analysis of 50 patients provides insights into clinical outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the aetiopathogenesis, diagnosis, and clinical courses of gallstone ileus.
    • To evaluate the outcomes of different surgical interventions for gallstone ileus.

    Summary:

    • The study details the presentation and progression of gallstone ileus in 50 patients.
    • Overall mortality was 36%, with enterotomy and fecal aspiration showing a 53% lethality rate versus 15% for enterotomy alone.
    • Postoperative complications affected 78% of survivors.

    Impact:

    • Findings highlight the increased risk associated with fecal aspiration in gallstone ileus management.
    • This data can inform surgical decision-making and improve patient outcomes in this rare condition.
