Abstract:
Authors review four patients diagnosed of cholelithiasis during between 1976-1986. They emphasize the importance of abdominal ultrasonography as the technic of first choice when cholelithiasis is suspected, due to its' harmlessness and diagnostic reliability. They recommend surgical treatment even in asymptomatic cases to avoid possible complications derived from a passive attitude.
