Beassier in 1770. However, subsequently, L. Bouveret, a French physician, published&#x000a0;2 comprehensive case reports 1896 of this condition, and it was named after him.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r3">[3]</a>&#x000a0;Bouveret syndrome has a high mortality, estimated at 12 to 30%, because an elderly age group is usually afflicted, and delay of diagnosis owing to its non-specific presentation and the complexity of the disease.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r4">[4]</a> Also, because the disease is rare, there is no agreed guidance for diagnostic workup and management, including endoscopic, laparoscopic, and open surgery.</p></div><div id="article-34490.s3"><h2 id="_article-34490_s3_">Etiology</h2><p>Bouveret syndrome is the most infrequent variant of gallstone ileus. It results from a gallstone migrating through a bilioenteric fistula, obstructing the gastric outlet and occasionally in other portions of the intestine. The entry point is typically a fistula between the gallbladder and a portion of the stomach or intestine.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r5">[5]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r6">[6]</a>&#x000a0;The well-studied risk factors for Bouveret syndrome include a history of cholelithiasis, stones greater than 2 cm to 8 cm, female gender, and&#x000a0;age older than 60 years. It has been reported that approximately 43% to 68% of patients have a history of recurrent biliary colic, jaundice, or acute cholecystitis.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r7">[7]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s4"><h2 id="_article-34490_s4_">Epidemiology</h2><p>Bouveret syndrome is extremely rare and constitutes 1&#x000a0;to 3% of all obstructions caused by gallstones in the gastrointestinal tract, representing 0.3&#x000a0;to 5% of cholelithiasis complications.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r8">[8]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r4">[4]</a>&#x000a0;However, most stones are relatively small and pass unnoticed or with terminal ileum impaction. The highest prevalence of Bouveret syndrome is among frail older women, with a median age of 74 years and a female-to-male ratio of 1.9.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r9">[9]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r10">[10]</a>&#x000a0;Thus, it has disproportionately high rates of morbidity and mortality.</p></div><div id="article-34490.s5"><h2 id="_article-34490_s5_">Pathophysiology</h2><p>Following an attack of acute cholecystitis, the resulting inflammation and adhesion of the gallbladder to GI, together with mechanical pressure applied by gallstones on the gallbladder itself and bowel wall, may result in an ischemic tear of the apposed gallbladder and enteric wall, this mechanism potentiates a fistula between the gallbladder and bowel where the gallstone could pass.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r11">[11]</a>&#x000a0;Apart from acute cholecystitis, a few case reports have been published of the development of a cholecystoenteric fistula consequent to a gallbladder malignancy.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r12">[12]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r13">[13]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r14">[14]</a></p><p>Bilioenteric fistulas usually present as cholecystoduodenal fistulas and contribute to 68% of the cases (see <b>Image.</b> Computed&#x000a0;Tomography of the&#x000a0;Abdomen, Cholecystoduodenal Fistula). S cholecystocolic or cholecystogastric fistulas are less common variants, accounting for 17% and 5% of the cases, respectively.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r15">[15]</a>&#x000a0;Cholecystogastric fistula is probably the rarest because of the thickness of the gastric wall.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r16">[16]</a>&#x000a0;However, most ectopic gallstones pass through defecation or vomiting, even with a bilioenteric fistula. Clinically, symptoms of GOO are likely to arise with larger stones in addition to other factors like pre-existing stenosis or post-surgical altered anatomy of the&#x000a0;gastrointestinal&#x000a0;tract.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r15">[15]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r17">[17]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s6"><h2 id="_article-34490_s6_">History and Physical</h2><p>The presentation of Bouveret syndrome is typically non-specific and often with waxing and waning symptoms of nausea and vomiting (present in 85% of patients), abdominal distension, and pain (present in 70% of patients) due to the varying locations of the gallstone. The patient may also exhibit epigastric and right hypochondrium pain and signs of dehydration and weight loss. Less frequently, Bouveret syndrome may present with hematemesis secondary to duodenal and celiac artery erosions or the expulsion of stones in the vomitus. Usually, the symptoms begin 5 to 7 days before patients seek medical consultation. Notably, the intensity of the pain often does not correlate with the underlying anatomic alteration. A physical exam is also non-specific, although one may appreciate dry mucous membranes, abdominal distension, tenderness, high-pitched bowel sounds, and obstructive jaundice.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r18">[18]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s7"><h2 id="_article-34490_s7_">Evaluation</h2><p>Unfortunately, laboratory studies are typically non-specific. Labs may show jaundice and hepatic enzyme alterations, but this is only seen in about one-third of the patients with Bouveret syndrome. Leucocytosis, electrolyte abnormalities, acid-base alterations, and renal failure may also be present, but the grade depends on the comorbidity, the intensity of the inflammatory response, and the compensatory mechanisms of the individual. As far as imaging is concerned, the constellation of pneumobilia, bowel obstruction, and an aberrant gallstone referred to as the Rigler triad is highly suggestive of Bouveret syndrome but is only found in 40% to 50% of cases (see <b>Image.</b> Bouveret&#x000a0;Syndrome&#x000a0;With Rigler&#x000a0;Triad). Ultrasound may be useful, showing possible cholecystitis, dilated stomach, pneumobilia, and ectopic location of gallstone, yet bowel gas makes it suboptimal. If the gallbladder is contracted, it may be difficult to detect the exact location of the stone (orthotopic or ectopic) using ultrasound.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r19">[19]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r20">[20]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r21">[21]</a></p><p>Abdominal radiographs, though non-specific, may help identify Bouveret syndrome. The subtle cues include pneumobilia, intestinal obstruction, aberrantly located gallstone, air-fluid levels in the right upper quadrant due to air in the gallbladder, gastric distention, and a change in the location of a previously observed stone. However, abdominal radiographs are only diagnostic in 21% of Bouveret syndrome cases.&#x000a0;Computed tomography is the imaging modality of choice, with an overall 93% sensitivity, 100% specificity, and 99% diagnostic accuracy. In addition to its higher accuracy than a plain radiograph or ultrasound, it can also provide important information about the presence of a fistula, the presence of an abscess, the inflammatory state of the surrounding lumen and tissue, the size of the gallstone, and the number of gallstones.</p><p>In patients unable to tolerate oral contrast or with intense emesis, as well as in cases with iso-attenuating stones, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography can be utilized, as it distinguishes stones from fluid, visualizes the fistula with good precision, and does not require the use of oral contrast material. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy is another option with diagnostic and therapeutic advantages. However, simultaneous removal of the stone is only successful in a minority of cases and can be associated with further complications. In about 20% to 40% of cases, the final diagnosis is established intra-operatively when a patient is undergoing laparotomy for small bowel obstruction of an unknown cause. This applies particularly to the 15% to 25% of gallstones that are iso-attenuating and not visible on&#x000a0;computed tomography&#x000a0;scans.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r22">[22]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r18">[18]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s8"><h2 id="_article-34490_s8_">Treatment / Management</h2><p>The chance of spontaneous resolution of Bouveret syndrome after conservative treatment is rare.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r18">[18]</a>&#x000a0;Also, a dislodged stone can cause distal obstruction. Endoscopic intervention is currently the first line of treatment for this syndrome. Many case reports of successful endoscopic management have been published in recent decades.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r23">[23]</a>&#x000a0;The first successful endoscopic visualization and extraction of gallstones from&#x000a0;3 cases was published in 1985.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r24">[24]</a>&#x000a0;Subsequently, endoscopic nets and lithotripsy modalities were developed for gallstone extraction. This minimally invasive approach enjoys lower mortality and morbidity rates of endoscopy vs surgery (1.6% vs 17.3%)&#x000a0;for Bouveret syndrome.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r23">[23]</a> However, it has a markedly reduced success rate compared to surgical intervention (43.0% vs 94.1%).<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r25">[25]</a></p><p>Decompression of the distended stomach by a nasogastric tube should be performed before therapeutic endoscopy to reduce the risk of aspiration. More endoscopy-based treatment options have become available with continued progress and refinement of endoscopic techniques over the last&#x000a0;2 decades. This improvement is reflected in rising success rates for treating Bouveret syndrome from 13.6% - 18.0% to 43.0%.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r18">[18]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r25">[25]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r26">[26]</a>&#x000a0;Minimally invasive treatment includes endoscopic retrieval, mechanical, electrohydraulic lithotripsy, laser, and extracorporeal shock waves. Extraction of impacted stones by Endoscopic graspers, nets, snares, or baskets can be tried. An esophageal overtube or latex rubber can be used to avoid esophageal injury during extraction. Endoscopic nets are reportedly more effective for treating smaller-sized stones than larger ones.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r27">[27]</a>&#x000a0;Stones of diameter exceeding 2.5 cm need lithotripsy fragmentation to enhance easy passage through the distal alimentary tract and safe removal.</p><p>Mechanical lithotripsy is a common method used, and fluoroscopy is a preferable adjunct to avoid the instrument wrongly entering the cholecystoenteric fistula. The other common method of lithotripsy is electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL). High EHL intensity may be needed because of the large gallstones commonly found in cases of Bouveret syndrome.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r28">[28]</a>&#x000a0;The other problem with EHL is that incidental focusing of the shock waves on the intestine wall may cause bleeding and perforation.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r29">[29]</a>&#x000a0;Other endoscopic methods are laser lithotripsy and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL). See <b>Video.</b> Bouveret&#x000a0;Syndrome&#x000a0;Treatment&#x000a0;With&#x000a0;Endoscopic&#x000a0;Laser&#x000a0;Lithotripsy.</p><p>The former was used in the mid-1980s for bile duct stone treatment.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r30">[30]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r31">[31]</a>&#x000a0;Laser lithotripsy has been reported to be effective and safe in treating complicated bile duct stones.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r32">[32]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r33">[33]</a>&#x000a0;The benefit of using&#x000a0;laser lithotripsy is the precise energy targeting the stone with minimal tissue injury. The direct visual control of the laser application makes the treatment technically easy and safe.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r34">[34]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r35">[35]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r36">[36]</a>&#x000a0;The Food and Drug Administration has approved holmium and neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet lasers as treatments, and they are available on the market.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r37">[37]</a>&#x000a0;ESWL has a higher failure rate and is limited by lacking endoscopic control. Utilization of intraoperative ultrasound during ESWL is advisable to tackle the gallstones, as the intraabdominal gases often impede plain XR.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r23">[23]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r38">[38]</a></p><p>Of all the successful endoscopic interventions published in recent decades, visualization of the gallstones was achieved in approximately two-thirds of cases.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r23">[23]</a> Moreover, less than two-thirds can be removed successfully.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r18">[18]</a>&#x000a0;Endoscopic modality may require more than&#x000a0;1&#x000a0;session,&#x000a0;and fragments of stones can cause postoperative gallstone ileus.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r23">[23]</a> Therefore, removing these fragments at the end of the procedure is essential.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r34">[34]</a>&#x000a0;Even so, endoscopic modalities present convenient alternatives, especially when patients are unsuitable for surgery. Also, the success rate of these techniques continue to increase in the future as technology continues to progress.</p><p>Surgery was considered first-line treatment in the past and has demonstrated higher success rates than the minimally invasive modality &#x02014;up to 90% for enteric or gastric lithotomy alone and up to 82% with simultaneous fistula repair and cholecystectomy.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r18">[18]</a>&#x000a0;However, surgery has remarkable morbidity and mortality, 37.5% and 11%, respectively.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r39">[39]</a>&#x000a0;As this disease is usually seen in elderly patients with significant comorbidities, surgery is not feasible for many of these patients. Surgical options may need to be&#x000a0;considered to treat patients with Bouveret syndrome when an endoscopic attempt is unsuccessful or no technical expertise is available. The surgical approach consists of open gastrotomy, pylorotomy, or duodenotomy at or proximal to the site of obstruction. Gastrotomy can be used for stone removal if it is possible to manipulate an impacted duodenal gallstone into the stomach.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r40">[40]</a>&#x000a0;With a distal duodenal impacted stone or a migrated stone into the proximal part of the jejunum, an enterotomy distal to Trietz ligament may be used for stone removal. The distal part of the small intestine must be examined to ensure no other migrated large stones may result in postoperative ileus. Endoscopy may be used as an adjunct to help maneuver the stone into a more suitable location to perform enterotomy or gastrotomy if the gallstone is detected in a difficult area to access during open surgery in&#x000a0;1 or&#x000a0;2 sessions.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r41">[41]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r42">[42]</a></p><p>Open surgery for Bouveret syndrome has high morbidity and mortality. When laparoscopic equipment and expertise are available, laparoscopic enterolithotomy should be considered the preferred approach and has been reported as effective and safe in managing this condition in the failure or unavailability of endoscopic therapies.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r43">[43]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r44">[44]</a>&#x000a0;However, higher rates of conversion are seen in these difficult cases.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r45">[45]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r46">[46]</a>&#x000a0;As with an open approach, stones can be removed by a laparoscope through duodenotomy, pylorotomy, or gastrotomy. After removing impacted gallstones, the small intestine needs to be examined to ensure there are no retained stones.</p><p>Cholecystectomy and fistula repair in&#x000a0;1 or a multi-step approach to treat Bouveret syndrome is debatable. Most patients are poor surgical candidates as they are older and have multiple comorbidities. Cholecystectomy with fistula repair is generally not recommended as the benefits of cholecystectomy in these patients generally outweigh the risks of further operations or complications from gallstones. However, there is always a risk for recurrent gallstone ileus and gallstone pancreatitis if the fistula is not repaired.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r47">[47]</a>&#x000a0;It is recommended to perform cholecystectomy in younger patients as there may be an increased risk of gallbladder cancer with cholecystoenteric fistula. Also, cholecystectomy is recommended if malignancy cannot be excluded with diagnostic imaging before surgery.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r48">[48]</a>&#x000a0;Cholecystectomy warrants consideration in other special conditions, including the previous history of gallstone ileus, common bile duct stone, and gallstone pancreatitis.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r49">[49]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s9"><h2 id="_article-34490_s9_">Differential Diagnosis</h2><p>

The most feared complication is intestinal perforation, which can lead to major morbidities.&#x000a0;Specific complications are related to the mode of treatment strategy employed. Incomplete lithotripsy may lead to recurrent gallstone ileus (see <b>Image.</b> Migrated Gallstone After Endoscopic Lithotripsy). Shock wave dispersion may lead to damage to surrounding structures. If a fistula is not excised, there is a risk of recurrent Bouveret syndrome, biliary sepsis, gallstone pancreatitis, and theoretical cancer risk. Surgery in itself carries the inherent risks of bleeding and infection. In addition, cholecystectomy may result in inadvertent injury to the biliary tree, especially in the presence of inflammation.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r50">[50]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s12"><h2 id="_article-34490_s12_">Deterrence and Patient Education</h2><p>Patients with endoscopic or surgical removal of obstructing stones only without closure of the cholecystoduodenal fistula should be educated on the potential complications of patency of this fistula.

Both the diagnosis and management are complex, and the disorder carries high morbidity and mortality. These patients are best managed by an interprofessional team that includes an emergency department physician, a general surgeon, a radiologist, a gastroenterologist, and specialty nurses. The best method of managing these patients still has not been determined, but the patients need close monitoring in an&#x000a0;intensive care unit&#x000a0;setting. Wound infections, fistula formation, and multiorgan failure have all been reported. The nurse must ensure the patients have&#x000a0;deep venous thrombosis&#x000a0;prophylaxis, as many remain bedridden for a prolonged time.<a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r51">[51]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r52">[52]</a><a class="bk_pop" href="#article-34490.r53">[53]</a></p></div><div id="article-34490.s15"><h2 id="_article-34490_s15_">Review Questions</h2><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>
