  • Title: [Biliary ileus. Our experience].
    Author: Cesari M, Balzola A, Cardino L, Gagliano A, Rozzio G.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1989 May 31; 44(10):1457-63. PubMed ID: 2771093.
    Abstract:
    Personal surgical experience of 7 cases of typical gallstone ileus and 2 cases of Bouveret's syndrome secondary to spontaneous bilio-digestive fistula of lithiasic aetiology are reported. After analysing the problems inherent in the clinical picture and the diagnostic protocol, stress is laid on the therapeutic strategies employable in the event of typical gallstone ileus. It is concluded that single stage correction of the bilio-digestive occlusion and fistula is always preferable except in patients whose general condition is very poor. Patients should initially be submitted to treatment of intestinal occlusion alone.
