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

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.
