[Biliary ileus. Presentation of 4 cases and review of the literature].
Gallstone ileus is a rare condition whose diagnosis may be puzzling. A series of 4 cases of gallstone ileus is presented. The last twenty years' literature was reviewed and compared with our results. Enterolithotomy was performed in all patients and no surgery was performed on the gallbladder and/or the fistula. The outcome was favourable in all cases, thus supporting our procedure.
