Two-stage minimally invasive surgical management of colonic gallstone ileus

Henry J Lujan et al. Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech. 2010 Aug.

Abstract

Colonic gallstone ileus is an unusual cause of colonic obstruction. Management of these patients is not standardized and can be challenging. As these patients are often ill and frail at presentation, surgical management needs to be individualized to decrease morbidity and mortality. We report a case that was managed by staged minimally invasive techniques with an excellent outcome.
