ABSTRACT
Temporal clipping of the external carotid artery for tumor resection is rarely documented in our country; nevertheless, it proves to be an effective and safe alternative therapeutic approach for reducing blood flow to the tumor and facilitating complete resection. This study presents a clinical case of a patient with a large facial neurofibroma where this technique was successfully employed without complications.

ABSTRACT
Biliary ileus is a rare entity in our setting despite the high incidence of cholecystitis in the Mexican population. Currently, the treatment for those presenting with intestinal obstruction is surgical. Although there are many management options, it should be individualized according to the patient, symptoms, and their hemodynamic status. In this case report, we present an approach to management in a hemodynamically stable patient, who showed appropriate postoperative evolution.
