Intestinal Stones

Abstract

The aim of the study was to study the issues of prevalence, etiopathogenesis, clinic, diagnosis and treatment of intestinal stone disease. Materials and methods. For 25 years, 25 patients (13 men, 12 women) with intestinal stones were observed. Patients of elderly and senile age prevailed (15 people). Enterolites had 5 patients, coprolites - 20. A total of 36 stones with a size of 2.5 to 22 cm were found in patients (26 concrements were 6 cm or more). For diagnosis, we used multi-detector computed tomography, fibro colonoscopy, ultrasound, irrigography, and other methods. Results. Stones most often formed in the sigmoid and rectum. Chronic colonic stasis, congenital and acquired diseases of the intestine, the reception of indigestible and extraneous substances for the intestine (chalk, barium, magnesium and aluminum salts) played a leading role in the formation of intestinal stones. In 20 patients, stones caused complications, of which the most severe were perforation of the gut (in 3) and acute intestinal obstruction (in 7). The best method of diagnosis was multidetector CT. Improving the diagnosis and developed differentiated treatment tactics allowed to improve the results of treatment and achieve recovery in all 25 patients
