Abstract

Gallstone ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis seen usually in elderly population with comorbidities. Most of the cases present as acute intestinal obstruction with the diagnosis being made intraoperatively. There exists controversy regarding appropriate emergency surgical treatment of gallstone ileus as to whether biliary tract surgery should be done during the first operation. Laparoscopy in recent years is also being used for management of such cases. We report a case of gallstone ileus diagnosed preoperatively and successfully treated by laparoscopic-assisted enterolithotomy.
