Core Tip	A rare and potentially fatal complication of gallstones, cholecystogastric fistulas often present with vague, non-specific symptoms and are commonly diagnosed intraoperatively. Early recognition through imaging, such as computed tomography scans showing pneumobilia and atrophied gallbladder, is crucial for proper surgical planning. The choice between open or laparoscopic surgery and a single-stage or two-stage procedure depends on factors like adhesion severity, surgeon expertise, and patient comorbidities. Early cholecystectomy is essential in preventing complications related to chronic cholecystitis.
