Cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis
Baillière's Clinical Gastroenterology, 1997Although much is still to be learned about the pathogenesis of cholelithiasis, recent investigations have greatly advanced our knowledge regarding the mechanisms of cholesterol supersaturation and nucleation. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has lessened the usual peri-operative morbidity of cholecystectomy, but is associated with a higher bile duct injury
