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

Cholesterol cholelithiasis is common in Western populations and represents a consequence of altered cholesterol homeostasis. Gallstones form because of a complex and incompletely understood series of metabolic and physicochemical events that promote cholesterol crystallization in bile.

Gallstone pancreatitis is a disease of high mortality (11%) and significant morbidity (42%). An analysis of 66 patients with this disease revealed the importance of an early aetiological diagnosis; 66% of our patients had evidence of previous biliary disease. Most patients were elderly and the severity of their disease could be predicted using Ranson's

Cholesterol gallstone formation is a complex process and involves phase separation of cholesterol crystals from supersaturated bile. In most cases, cholesterol hypersecretion is considered the primary event in gallstone formation. The sterol is transported through the hepatocytic canalicular membrane by ABCG5-G8. Expression of this transport protein is

The longer an individual harbors gallstones, the greater the incidence of serious complications. The most common complications are acute cholecystitis, pancreatitis and a stone in the common duct; morbidity and mortality tend to double in patients more than 60 years old.

Although there is generally assumed to be a relationship between pregnancy and the formation of gallstones, available evidence is confusing and indicates little, if any, statistical support for such an opinion. Many years ago Schroeder 1 carefully investigated this problem.

The significance and natural history of fetal cholelithiasis is not yet well defined. We report two cases of echogenic foci detected prenatally by ultrasound. The gallstones resolved in both cases by 16 weeks following birth. Both infants were treated by ursodeoxycholic acid.
