Description
Summary:Bouveret’s syndrome is a complication of cholelithiasis that presents with gastric outlet obstruction due to an impacted gallstone in the duodenum following cholecystoduodenal fistula.

We present a case of a patient with Bouveret’s syndrome managed with laparoscopic surgery after an unsuccessful attempt of endoscopic removal.
