Gallstones are common, leading to biliary colic, cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, and pancreatitis. This review covers their formation, symptoms, and management using imaging and endoscopic techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Gallstones (cholelithiasis) are prevalent in Western populations.
  • Complications include biliary colic, acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, and gallstone pancreatitis.
  • Understanding pathogenesis is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the pathogenesis of gallstone formation.
  • To outline clinical manifestations of gallstone-related conditions.
  • To discuss current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for gallstone complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of pathogenesis of gallstone formation.
  • Description of clinical presentations.
  • Evaluation of diagnostic imaging modalities (ultrasound, CT, MRI, MRCP).

  • Assessment of endoscopic procedures (EUS, ERCP).

    • Main Results:

    • Gallstones form through complex lithogenic processes.
    • Common clinical conditions include biliary colic, acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, and gallstone pancreatitis.
    • Imaging and endoscopic techniques are vital for diagnosis and treatment.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive understanding of gallstone pathogenesis aids in early diagnosis.
    • Multimodality imaging and endoscopic interventions are key in managing gallstone disease.
    • This review provides a guide for physicians managing patients with gallstones.
