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.

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.

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 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.

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

Sir.—Recently, Reif et al1described 50 children and adolescents with gallstones and discussed the conditions associated with the development of gallstones in children, with the exception of erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP). Of the two most common porphyrias, EPP rivals porphyria cutanea tarda in prevalence, and is characterized clinically by ...

Gallstones may now be diagnosed by means of duodenal bile analysis, ultrasonography, oral cholecystography, cholescintigraphy, and cholecystography during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. Dissolution or removal of stones can be achieved with oral pharmacotherapy with bile acid derivatives, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, infusion ...
