| | Cholelithiasis |
| | Cholelithiasis (or gallstones) represents one of the most common surgical problems worldwide and is especially prevalent in most western countries. | | | Typically, however, vital signs and physical exam are usually normal in patients with cholelithiasis. | | | With the advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomies, recovery and post-operative time have been diminished markedly, and the procedure can be performed in the outpatient setting. |

| | Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) has a 99% chance of eliminating the recurrence of cholelithiasis, and the lack of a gall bladder does not seem to have any negative consequences. | | | There are two surgery options: open procedure and laparoscopic: see the cholecystectomy article for more details. | | | Cholelithiasis is the presence of stones in the gallbladder - chole- means "gall bladder", lithia meaning "stone", and -sis means "process". |
