Article Synopsis
- Cholecystoenteric fistulae are uncommon complications that occur in about 0.5% to 0.9% of patients who undergo cholecystectomy due to gallstone disease.
- The most frequent type is a cholecystoduodenal fistula, followed by a cholecystocolonic fistula.
- The paper discusses a unique case involving both fistula types leading to pneumobilia, which was treated through laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy and open repair of the fistulae, highlighting the need for careful planning and skilled surgery for such rare cases.
