Complications of Gallstones: The Mirizzi Syndrome, Gallstone Ileus, Gallstone Pancreatitis, Complications of “Lost” Gallstones

Surgical Clinics of North America, 2008
Gallstones cause various problems besides simple biliary colic and choplecystitis. With chronicity of inflammation caused by gallstone obstruction of the cystic duct, the gallbladder may fuse to the extrahepatic biliary tree, causing Mirizzi syndrome, or fistulize into the intestinal tract, causing so-called gallstone ileus.

The Dissolution of Gallstones

Primary Care: Clinics in Office Practice, 1981
The use of chenodeoxycholic acid, ursodeoxycholic acid, and mono octanoin in the dissolution of gallstones is examined as an alternative to surgery. It is conjectured that as many as 80 per cent of radiolucent gallstones can be dissolved using these agents, although factors of cost must be considered in cases in which lifelong medication is required.

Pathogenesis of gallstones

The American Journal of Surgery, 1993
Gallstones form as a result of many disorders. Unphysiologic supersaturation, generally from hypersecretion of cholesterol, is essential for the formation of cholesterol gallstones. The other common abnormalities of the hepatobiliary system in gallstone patients are accelerated nucleation, gallbladder hypomotility, and the accumulation of mucin gel. An
