[Criteria for a rational choice of treatment in biliary ileus. The authors' personal experience]. / Criteri per una scelta razionale di trattamento dell'ileo biliare. Esperienza personale.

ABSTRACT

Treatment of biliary ileus is still controversial in respect of surgical strategy. While some surgeons have agreed enterolithotomy as a simple and safe operation, others prefer to perform enterolithotomy, cholecystectomy and repair bilio-enteric fistula at the same time. The authors examine their experience and discuss various modalities of treatment to identify the rational method of therapy in these patients.
