Forty-seven cases of intestinal obstruction due to gall-stones are analyzed. All the patients underwent surgery including enterolithotomy with two-layer intestinal closure (40), passage of stone into cecum (3), intestinal resection due to wall necrosis (3). Two patients died due to intestinal perforation with retroperitoneal phlegmon and multiple organ failure. It is concluded that clinical symptoms of cholelithic intestinal obstruction are wave-like. Intestinal X-ray and ultrasonic examinations are the most informative for final diagnosis.
