Finsterer- Bancroft-Plenk operation and Bouveret's syndrome: a rare association

Key Points

To examine the relationship between Bouveret syndrome and the Finsterer-Bancroft-Plenk technique in treating duodenal obstructions.
Descriptive analysis of Bouveret syndrome case studies
Evaluation of symptoms like epigastric pain and complications from peptic ulcer disease
Assessment of surgical outcomes using the Finsterer-Bancroft-Plenk technique
Bouveret syndrome is confirmed as a rare complication of peptic ulcer disease.
The Finsterer-Bancroft-Plenk technique is effective in treating complex duodenal stenoses.
Surgical management leads to symptom relief in patients with duodenal obstruction caused by gallstones.

Abstract

Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) presents different spectrums of evolution and severity. Epigastric pain is the patient's most important complaint and may be associated with other complications, such as bleeding, perforations and stenosis, associated with comorbidities. Bouveret syndrome is a rare syndrome with nonspecific symptoms and prolonged evolution, characterizing duodenal obstruction by a large gallstone migrated through a cholecystoduodenal fistula. It is currently known as the Finsterer-Bancroft-Plenk technique, the preservation of the antrum and removal of the antral mucosa associated by partial gastrectomy. The Finsterer-Bancroft-Plenk technique is still a surgical option in the face of complex duodenal stenoses secondary to PUD.
