Gallstone disease is a common clinical problem that poses particular difficulties for our aging and increasingly obese population. Exciting new research suggests an infectious cause for most cholesterol stones. The keys to managing patients with gallstone disease are recognition of the wide spectrum of clinical disease resulting from gallstones and a ...

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.

Gallstones represent a major health problem in western society. For symptomatic gallstones, cholecystectomy is the gold standard. A considerable number of patients, however, cannot tolerate or are unwilling to undergo surgery and anaesthesia. For these patients, dissolution therapy, administered either systemically (‘oral dissolution’) or directly into

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. A prospective rather than a retrospective study would be a better test.

Gallstone pancreatitis is caused by transient obstruction of the ampulla of Vater by a migrating gallstone. Intraglandular activation of pancreatic enzymes occurs (by an unclear mechanism), and their entry into the circulation causes most of the local and systemic events of pancreatitis.

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.

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

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.
