Abstract
Biliary ileus is a rare but notable cause of mechanical intestinal obstruction, often seen in patients with a history of gallbladder disease. This image captures the intraoperative removal of a gallstone that had impacted in the ileum, obstructing the bowel. The case highlights the diagnostic and surgical importance of recognizing biliary ileus in the context of small bowel obstructions.
