Dissolution of Gallstones

Digestive Diseases, 2008
Gallstones represent a major health problem in western society. For symptomatic gallstones, cholecystectomy is the gold standard.

Vagotomy and Gallstones

Postgraduate Medicine, 1970
The possibility of a link between vagotomy and gallstones was explored in a personal series. The number of patients found to have gallstones 1 to 10 years after vagotomy was about what one would expect in any group of persons of this age.

Gallstone lithotripsy

The American Journal of Surgery, 1993
Extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy (ESWL) has been applied to patients with gallstones since the mid-1980s. Lithotriptors differ by their means of shock-wave generation, the mechanisms by which they are coupled to the patient, and their imaging systems.

Dissolution or removal of stones can be achieved with oral pharmacotherapy with bile acid derivatives, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, infusion ...
