The objective of this study was to assess whether sparing patients a definitive biliary procedure adversely influenced the outcome.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>MATERIALS AND METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Patients with a diagnosis of GI were reviewed. Two groups were identified: patients who underwent a definitive biliary procedure with relieving the intestinal obstruction (group 1\/G1) and those who did not have a definitive biliary procedure (group 2\/G2). In G2, patients were evaluated on long-term follow-up for the risk of recurrent GI disease, cholecystitis, cholangitis and gallbladder cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 1075 patients admitted for small bowel obstruction, 20 (1.9%) were diagnosed with gallstone ileus. 3 (15%) of these belong to G1, 17 (85%) to G2. The overall postoperative morbidity rate was 35% (7\/20) with one complication exceeding grade II in each group. No deaths were reported. Mean follow-up was 50 months. During follow-up, one of G2 patients had recurrent disease. No biliary tract infections or gallbladder cancer were identified.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Enterolithotomy without fistula closure is confirmed to be safe and effective for the management of gallstone ileus both on a short- and long-term basis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2017.07.007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,8]],"date-time":"2017-07-08T04:15:43Z","timestamp":1499487343000},"page":"78-82","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Less is more"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Dario","family":"Tartaglia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sohail","family":"Bakkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Piccini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Bronzoni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luigi","family":"Cobuccio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Bertolucci","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Galatioto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Massimo","family":"Chiarugi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-19-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"819","DOI":"10.9738\/INTSURG-D-14-00087.1","article-title":"Bouveret\u2019s syndrome: an overlooked diagnosis: a case report and review of literature","volume":"99","author":"Qasaimeh","year":"2014","journal-title":"Int.
