Current Opinion in Gastroenterology, 1999
This review summarizes the main advances made in the epidemiology, pathogenesis, and medical treatment of gallstone disease in the past year. Whether rapid weight reduction can precipitate gallstone formation is still debated. Phospholipase A(2)-II seems to play an interesting role in the pathogenesis of multiple cholesterol stone formation, and ...

Gallstones are estimated to affect over 20 million people in the United States. Recent studies have clarified the role of various dietary components in gallstone disease. Also, insulin resistance has been demonstrated to be a risk factor for gallstones.

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.

Digestive Diseases, 1993
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 Pathogenesis of Gallstones
Hospital Practice, 1984Intensive investigations into the mechanism of gallstone formation have revealed that cholesterol supersaturation of the bile is a necessary but insufficient condition for cholelithiasis. A defect in the regulation of monohydrate crystal nucleation appears to be the most critical factor.

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.

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
