Gallstone Ileus associated with impaction at Meckel’s diverticulum: Case report and literature review
World journal of gastrointestinal surgery, 2016Co-Authors: Harveen K. Lamba, Yiwen Shi, Ajita S. PrabhuAbstract:Gallstone Ileus due to erosion of one or more Gallstones into the gastrointestinal tract is an uncommon cause of small bowel obstruction. The site of impaction is usually distal ileum, and less commonly the jejunum, colon, duodenum, or stomach. We report a rare case of Gallstone Ileus with impaction at the proximal small bowel and at a Meckel's diverticulum (MD) in a 64-year-old woman managed with laparoscopic converted to open small bowel resections. Patient was discharged home in stable condition and remained asymptomatic at 6-mo follow up. We review the current literature on surgical approaches to MD and Gallstone Ileus. Diverticulectomy or segmental resection is preferred for complicated MD. For Gallstone Ileus, simple enterolithotomy or segmental resection are the most the most favored especially in older co-morbid patients due to lower mortality rates and the rarity of recurrent Gallstone Ileus. In addition, laparoscopy has been increasingly reported as a safe approach to manage Gallstone Ileus.

Gallstone Ileus: Laparoscopic-Assisted Enterolithotomy
Journal of the American College of Surgeons, 1998Co-Authors: Leopoldo Sarli, Nicola Pietra, Renato Costi, Sara GobbiAbstract:Although longevity in Western countries has probably increased the prevalence of Gallstone Ileus,1 this disorder remains a rare, often unrecognized, cause of gastrointestinal mechanical obstruction, accountable for no more than 4% of cases.1-3 The advanced age of the patients, the frequent concomitant presence of severe medical diseases, and the delay before surgical treatment contribute to high morbidity and mortality rates, ranging from 11 to 75% and from 8 to 20%, respectively.2,4 Although consensus has not been reached as to the emergency surgical procedure for Gallstone Ileus, especially regarding the timeliness and timing of biliary surgery,5 a simple enterolithotomy is considered to be the procedure of choice by most authors.1,2,6 To optimize results, the operation should be expeditious and surgical trauma kept to a minimum. We use the videolaparoscopic approach, described here, in the treatment of three cases of Gallstone Ileus.
