Bouveret's Syndrome - Case Series with Therapeutic Implications. Z Gastroenterol. 2020 Apr;58(4):352-356 Authors: Kukiolka T, Borovicka J, Baumeler S, Schiesser M, Gubler C Abstract Bouveret's syndrome is a rare complication resulting from gallstone disease. Both surgical and endoscopical procedures are performed, with the disease to be seen as strictly interdisciplinary. There are no well-established recommendations for this condition. In this paper, we want to describe our experience from 6 cases in 3 Swiss hospitals from 2015 to 2017 with emphasis on the endoscopic technique of electrohydraulic lithotripsy followed by balloon dilatation and propose a treatment algorithm.
