  • Title: Laparoscopic management of Bouveret syndrome.
    Author: Newton RC, Loizides S, Penney N, Singh KK.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2015 Apr 22; 2015():. PubMed ID: 25903213.
    Abstract:
    Bouveret syndrome is a proximal form of gallstone ileus where a large gallstone lodges in the pylorus or proximal duodenum, having passed through a bilioenteric fistula that has formed secondary to previous cholecystitis. We describe the laparoscopic extraction of a giant 'Bouveret' gallstone from the duodenum of an elderly man with morbid obesity.
