Abstract

Gallstone disease and complications from gallstones are common clinical problems. The clinical presentation is from asymptomatic attacks of biliary pain requiring elective or emergency surgery. Bile duct stones can also associate with cholelithiasis, usually treated with cholecystectomies; about 10% of gallstones will develop gallstones, but only a smaller percentage in the bile duct. To avoid complications of choledocholithiasis, these stones should be removed.
