44. SHORT TOPIC ON :
•CHOLELITHIASIS

45. Cholelithiasis
• Cholelithiasis is
derived from the
Greek word
‘CHOL’ means
“Bile” and “LITH”
means ‘Stone’.
• Presence of stones
in the gallbladder
is reffered to as
cholelithiasis.

46. Types of Gallstone
• There are three types of gallstone which is given
below:
• CHOLESTEROL STONES( 80% cholesterol by weight)
vary in color from light yellow to dark green or
brown and are oval 2to 3cm in length,often having a
tiny dark center spot.

47. • PIGMENT STONES are small,dark stones
made of bilirubin,calcium salts and 20%
cholesterol that are found in bile.
• MIXED GALLSTONES typically contain 20-
80% cholesterol.Other common
constituents are calcium
carbonate,palmitate phosphate ,bilirubin
and other bile pigments.Because of their
calcium content,they are other
radiographically visible.

49. Pathophysiology:
• Cholesterol gallstones develop
when bile contains too much
cholesterol and not enough bile
salt.
• Two other factors are important in
causing gallstones are:
• Incomplete and Infrequent
emptying of the gallbladder may
cause the bile to become
overconcentrated and contribute
to gallstone formation.

50. •The second factor is the
presence of proteins in the
liver and bile that either
promote or inhibit cholesterol
crystallization into gallstones.

51. ETIOLOGY:
• Fat
• Forty
• Female
• Fertile
• Drugs
• Heriditary
• Bile stasis

53. Signs and symptoms:
• Gallstones may be asymptomatic,even for
years.These gallstones are called “silent
stones” and do not require treatment.
• Symptoms commonly begin to appear once the
stones reach a certain size(>8mm)
• A characteristic symptom of gallstones is a
“gallstone attack”, in which a person may
experience intense pain in the upper right
side of the abdomen.

54. •Often,attacks occur after a
particularly fatty meal and
almost always happen at
night.
•Abdominal bloating.
•Intolerance of fatty foods.
•Belching.
•Gas
•Indigestion

55. INVESTIGATIONS:
•USG of HBS
•LFTs
•ERCP/MRCP
•AXR
•CT Scan

57. TREATMENT:
•Conservative treatment for acute
condition.
•SURGERY:
•Open cholecystectomy
•Laparoscopic cholecystectomy(the
gold standard for treating
symptomatic cholelithiasis

58. •Medical treatment:
•1.expectant incase of
asymptomatic
•2.Chemical ddissolution:
•By Chenodeoxycholic acid
(when gall stone<2cm nd
GALL BLADDER –normal
function)

59. •3.Fragmentation by
ESWL(extra corporial shock
wave lithotripsy.
•Percutaneous
cholecystolithotomy.

60. COMPLICATIONS:
•Cholecystitis
•Choledocholithiasis
•Perforated gallbladder
•Gallbladder cancer
•Cholangitis
•Pancreatitis
•Gangrene or abscesses
