title: [Spontaneous bilio-digestive fistulas of lithiasis origin: our experience].
abstract: The Authors report their experience with spontaneous bilio-digestive fistulas of lithiasic origin. They examine the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment of this pathology also in consideration of probable complications, in particular the biliary ileus, in old patients often presenting metabolic or cardiopulmonary disorders, which contribute to worsen the prognosis.
