    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology

    Context:

    • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.
    • Delayed diagnosis impacts treatment outcomes.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes of gallstone ileus.
    • To assess the efficacy of enterolithotomy for gallstone ileus.

    Summary:

    • A 20-year retrospective study of 19 patients with gallstone ileus.
    • Mean symptom duration was 5 days; diagnosis was correct in 50% of cases.
    • Enterolithotomy alone demonstrated reliability and fewer complications compared to other methods.

    Impact:

    • Highlights enterolithotomy as a preferred surgical approach for gallstone ileus.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention to improve outcomes.
