Cholecystoenteric Fistula: A Single-Center Experience of Seven Cases with Unusual Complications of Gallstone Disease

Cholecystoenteric fistula remains a diagnostic and surgical challenge due to its nonspecific presentation and intraoperative detection. While preoperative imaging can aid in diagnosis, most cases are identified intraoperatively, necessitating modifications in the surgical approach. Advances in laparoscopic techniques have reduced conversion rates, but complex cases still require open surgery. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to refine diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Abstract

Cholecystoenteric fistula remains a diagnostic and surgical challenge due to its nonspecific presentation and intraoperative detection. While preoperative imaging can aid in diagnosis, most cases are identified intraoperatively, necessitating modifications in the surgical approach. Advances in laparoscopic techniques have reduced conversion rates, but complex cases still require open surgery. Further studies with larger cohorts are needed to refine diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
