What are gallstones?
Also known as cholelithiasis, gallstones are formations of the biliary tract that are present in the gallbladder. They remain asymptomatic for a very long time and develop insidiously. The associated risk is the migration of a gallstone into the cystic duct opening. During the contraction of the gallbladder, it may obstruct the bile outflow. A biliary colic develops due to the tension of the gallbladder wall. When pain persists due to cystic duct obstruction, it results in acute cholecystitis. When one or more gallstones are present in the common bile duct, it is called choledocholithiasis. This is a consequence of the migration of the gallstones from the gallbladder into the bile duct.
