Abstract
One surgical complication that is frequently seen in hospitals is small intestinal obstruction. It is uncommon and sometimes challenging to diagnose small intestinal obstruction caused by an enterolith. Due to a variety of illnesses, intestinal stasis can lead to the development of gastrointestinal concretions, or enterolithiasis, which can manifest clinically in a variety of ways. A 48‐year‐old male came to the Surgery OPD complaining of intermittent spasmodic pain in the epigastric region and right upper abdomen for ten days. He had a distended abdomen. He had a history of previous operations for Meckel's Diverticulum 39 years back in 1981. Initial conservative management was given, but with no relief, the patient was planned for laparoscopic adhesiolysis. During the procedure, an enterolith was detected and removed via enterotomy.
