    Routine gallbladder ultrasound (cholecystosonography) is feasible in obstetric patients, revealing common abnormalities like gallstones. This imaging should be integrated into standard prenatal care for early detection.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Gallbladder abnormalities can occur during pregnancy.
    • Routine obstetric ultrasound typically focuses on fetal development.
    • The utility of gallbladder assessment in pregnancy is not fully established.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and findings of cholecystosonography in obstetric patients.
    • To determine the prevalence of gallbladder abnormalities in pregnant individuals.
    • To assess the potential role of gallbladder ultrasound in routine prenatal care.

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective study involving 338 obstetric patients.
    • Performance of cholecystosonography (gallbladder ultrasound).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of gallbladder visualization rates and identification of abnormalities.

    • Main Results:

    • Successful gallbladder visualization in 93% of patients.
    • Gallbladder volume correlated with gestational age.
    • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) detected in 3.5% of patients.
    • Overall gallbladder abnormalities found in 4.2% of the cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Cholecystosonography is a feasible and valuable tool in obstetric imaging.
    • A significant percentage of pregnant patients exhibit gallbladder abnormalities.
    • Integrating gallbladder ultrasound into routine obstetric examinations is recommended for improved patient care.
