    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Gastroenterology
    • Abdominal Surgery

    Context:

    • Biliary ileus, a rare complication of cholelithiasis, presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
    • This study reviews surgical management of biliary ileus over a 41-year period at a single institution.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the surgical treatment outcomes for patients diagnosed with biliary ileus.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of different surgical techniques and identify common complications.

    Summary:

    • Twenty-five patients with biliary ileus underwent surgical treatment between 1946 and 1987.
    • The most common surgical approach was enterotomy with stone extraction (23 patients).
    • Complications included wound infection (11 patients), with an average hospitalization of 27 days and a 100% survival rate.
