ID: 3526433 ENDOSCOPIC INTERVENTION PREVENTED MAJOR SURGERY AND MADE EASY FOR ROBOTIC SURGERY IN A RARE CASE OF BOUVERET'S SYNDROME

Abstract

Bouveret’s syndrome (BS) is a rare complication of gall stone disease represented as gastric outlet obstruction (GOO) due impaction of big gall stone in the duodenum via cholecystoduodenal fistula. Although it is exceptionally uncommon cause of the abdominal pain, but still carries significantly high morbidity and mortality. We describe case of elderly lady with BS, who underwent endoscopic therapy which paved the way for easy robotic surgery for removal of large gall stone from the stomach.
