Seminars in Pediatric Surgery, 2012
Gallstone disease in children is evolving, and for the previous 3 decades, the frequency for surgery has increased greatly. This is in part because of improved diagnostic modalities, but also changing pathology, an increased awareness of emerging comorbidities, such as childhood obesity, and other associated risk factors.

Identification of gallstone disease
Postgraduate Medicine, 1979Oral cholecystography is the most widely used and accurate method for evaluating the gallbladder. Nonvisualization of the gallbladder on a two-day study is virtually diagnostic of cystic duct obstruction or gallbladder membrane dysfunction.

Gallstone disease (GSD) is one of the most common biliary tract disorders worldwide. The prevalence, however, varies from 5.9-21.9% in Western society to 3.1-10.7% in Asia. Most gallstones (75%) are silent. Approximately half of symptomatic gallstone carriers experience a second episode of biliary pain within 1 year.

In others, stones cause specific symptoms of gallbladder disease, such as biliary colic, acute cholecystitis, or cholangitis. Symptoms of flatulent dyspepsia are not markers of gallstone disease, since they occur equally in those with and ...
