In this case report, we present the benefits of current endoscopic methods in successful treatment of proximal biliary ileus. Gastroscopic examination allowed us to establish the diagnosis. Using lithotripsy, we broke up the concrement in duodenal bulb and extracted its partial segments. This procedure led to a solution of this condition.
Key words: Bouveret syndrome – gastric outlet obstruction – gallstone ileus – gastroscopy – lithotripsy The authors declare they have no potential con icts of interest concerning drugs, products, or services used in the study. The Editorial Board declares that the manuscript met the ICMJE „uniform requirements“ for biomedical papers.
