    Summary

    Gallstone ileus requires prompt surgical intervention. Simultaneous treatment of the intestinal obstruction and the bilio-digestive fistula in a single session is recommended for optimal patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Surgery

    Background:

    • Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.
    • It presents as a mechanical small bowel obstruction.
    • Bilio-digestive fistula is the underlying pathology.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of gallstone ileus are presented.
    • Patients presented with symptoms of small bowel obstruction.

    Findings:

    • Surgical management involved addressing both the obstruction and the fistula.
    • A single-session surgical approach was successfully employed.
    • Preoperative optimization of hydration, electrolytes, and metabolic status is crucial.

    Implications:

    • Single-session surgery for gallstone ileus is feasible and effective.
    • Thorough preoperative preparation is essential for successful single-session treatment.
    • This approach may improve patient outcomes and reduce hospital stays.
