    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Gall bladder perforation is serious, causing bile peritonitis in 45% and fistulae in 48%. Cholecystostomy may be life-saving, while gall stone ileus surgery should focus on relieving obstruction.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Gall bladder perforation is a severe complication.
    • It can lead to bile peritonitis and bilio-enteric fistulae.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review outcomes of gall bladder perforation.
    • To evaluate surgical management strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 27 patients with gall bladder perforation.
    • Analysis of complications and surgical interventions.

    Main Results:

    • 45% of patients had free perforation with bile peritonitis.
    • 48% presented with bilio-enteric fistulae.
    • 5 patients had gall stone ileus; mortality was 11%.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimal surgical approach depends on patient condition and anatomy.
    • Cholecystostomy can be life-saving.
    • Surgery for gall stone ileus should prioritize obstruction relief.
