Abstract:
Gallbladder disease continues to be a common problem for women. Diagnostic tools such as ultrasonography have allowed earlier and more accurate diagnoses to be made. Therapies have changed significantly in the past few years, and the new treatments are associated with lower morbidity than is the classic cholecystectomy. The gynecologist should be aware of evolving technologies to assist his or her patient in choosing the safest and most cost-effective therapies.
