Small bowel obstructions are uncommonly due to gallstone ileus. This occurs due to sequelae of cholecystitis in which a cholecystointestinal fistula forms. Gallstones that pass through the fistula can form a mechanical bowel obstruction. Although this entity has been described previously, the complications of surgical management of these patients are less frequently encountered in the literature. This case report highlights one such complication.
