Objective: Gallstone disease is a prevalent global health issue, but its impact in Africa remains unclear. This study aims to summarise and synthesise available data on the prevalence of gallstone disease across populations in Africa.
Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis, reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines.
Gallstone ileus is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition resulting from the migration of gallstones into the gastrointestinal tract, which often necessitates surgical intervention. Three surgical procedures are well known and are practiced in clinical medicine; they include entero-lithotomy alone, entero-lithotomy with cholecystectomy, and enterolithotomy with fistula closure. However, there is no consensus regarding the best surgical approach as far as mortality, morbidity, and operative outcomes are concerned.

Bouveret syndrome is one of the complications of gallstone disease possibly fatal, which proposes the presence of a large stone obliterating the lumen of the duodenum or stomach because of the formation of a bilioenteric fistula. This review article, therefore, plans to review the causes, patient characteristics, diagnostic workup, associated conditions, and treatment of Bouveret syndrome. A literature search was also performed through scientific databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, and PubMed concerning articles related to Bouveret syndrome written by different authors.

As the age increases particularly above the age of 50 years, there is a significantly higher risk of developing gallstone-related complications especially cholecystitis and common bile duct stones with its associated consequences. Complications that arise after surgical operations for cholecystitis have been reported to have negative impacts on senior patients. These effects include a higher rate of complications, a longer hospital stay, higher expenditures, and decreased patient satisfaction.
