Autoimmune Diseases of the Biliary Tract
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2019The management of autoimmune hepatobiliary disorders remains a challenging and emerging area of investigation.

Genetics of biliary tract diseases: new insights into gallstone disease and biliary tract cancers
Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 2008Chronic biliary diseases are due to complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Here we summarize the current knowledge of genetic factors that contribute to common biliary diseases, focusing on gallstones and carcinogenesis, and review the recent association studies.Since most studies were based on small sample sizes, replication ...

A notable discovery in the last century by Von Recklinghausen that 90 % of women having gallstones have been gravid at least once, and the subsequent findings by Courvoisier in autopsy studies that three times as many women have gallstones as men hinted at the possibility of pregnancy being one of the major factors in the development of cholelithiasis [

STUDIES IN BILIARY TRACT DISEASE
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1934It is only slightly more than a decade ago that Rous and McMaster 1 published their observations on gallbladder function. Besides extending knowledge their work gave quantitative confirmation of much that had been done previously. Since then a great deal has been accomplished, as can be seen from the review recently published by Ivy; 2 but as yet ...

Clinics in Liver Disease, 1999Cholelithiasis is a common biliary tract disease in the United States, and more than 75% of the gallstones are composed of cholesterol. 17 There is considerable evidence that pregnancy is a predisposing factor in the formation of cholesterol gallstones.

Surgery in Biliary Tract Disease
JAMA, 1960The direct surgical attack upon biliary tract disease began less than a century ago, when Bobbs, in 1867, performed the first cholecystostomy. 1 Langenbuch reported the first recorded cholecystectomy in 1883. 1 Exploration of the common duct for removal of calculi was accomplished by Kummell in 1890.

The Diagnosis and Management of Biliary-Tract Disease
New England Journal of Medicine, 1955THERE have been few fundamental contributions to the diagnosis and management of biliary-tract disease in recent years, but a current evaluation of the subject is justified in view of the large number of cholecystectomies being performed today and the frequency of complications of biliary-tract disease in patients seen by the surgeon for the first time.
