TLDR
Enterotomy with stone extraction alone appears to be associated with better outcomes than more invasive techniques, and Mortality rates appear to be lower than previously reported in the literature.
Cholecystolithotomy, a new approach to reduce recurrent gallstone ileus
TLDR
A treatment algorithm is recommended based on the severity of the inflammation around the gallbladder, including cholecystolithotomy as a third treatment approach that aims to reduce the risk of recurrent GSI.
The Regularity of the Site of Impaction in Recurrent Gallstone Ileus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Reported Cases
TLDR
A high index of suspicion for RGSI is maintained for older women with a history of GSI and the region where the stone was impacted during IGSI should be investigated first in such patients.
Gallstone Ileus: Management and Clinical Outcomes

TLDR
The results prove that the concomitant one-stage repair for gallstone ileus significantly reduces the overall mortality rate compared to the single enterolithotomy alone and later cholecystectomy based on patient symptoms.
Comparison of Surgical Treatments of Gallstone Ileus: Preliminary Report
