    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Surgery

    Background:

    • Bouveret syndrome is a rare complication of gallstones, causing gastric outlet or duodenal obstruction.
    • It predominantly affects elderly female patients, presenting unique clinical challenges.

    Observation:

    • This report details two cases of Bouveret syndrome within a single year.
    • The cases highlight the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and treatment strategies for this condition.

    Findings:

    • The primary surgical approach involves a one-stage procedure.
    • This includes gallstone removal, fistula closure, and cholecystectomy.
    • A critical component is the meticulous search for and removal of any residual gallstones throughout the small and large intestines.

    Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes in Bouveret syndrome.
    • This case series underscores the importance of a comprehensive surgical approach to prevent recurrence.
    • Understanding the specific challenges associated with Bouveret syndrome can improve patient management in clinical practice.
