Ileal 胆石阻塞: 单个汽球的 enteroscopic 移动

Gallstone-induced ileus is a rare complication of cholelithiasis.Since localization of gallstones impacted in the small bowel,especially in the ileum,prevents access by conventional endoscopy in most cases,the mainstay of treatment remains surgical.Recent invention of double-and single-balloon enteroscopy has added much to the ability of imaging the small bowel and enables endoscopically directed therapy.Herein,for the first time,we report a successful endoscopic calculus removal via peroral single-balloon enteroscopy in an 81-year-old woman suffering from gallstone ileus of the ileum.
