Ychwanegu Tag | Crynodeb: | Long-standing cholelithiasis is one of the most common pathologies in our region, where stones or calculi form within the gallbladder, often going unnoticed since a large percentage of individuals show no symptoms. However, when the stones block the bile ducts or interfere with the normal flow of bile, severe complications may arise. These complications include chronic cholecystitis, gallstone ileus, Mirizzi syndrome, sclerotic atrophic gallbladder, and gallbladder cancer. When not diagnosed in time, it is associated with a series of abnormal alterations in the gallbladder. Risk factors include advanced age, female sex, obesity, smoking, and metabolic diseases, which increase the likelihood of progression to complicated forms. Chronic cholecystitis is the most prevalent complication, characterized by a prolonged inflammation of the gallbladder that causes structural changes in its wall. Over time, the function of the gallbladder is compromised due to fibrosis and muscular hypertrophy, making it difficult for the gallbladder to empty properly. It can also lead to more serious complications, such as gallstone ileus and Mirizzi syndrome, which occurs when stones obstruct the common hepatic duct, causing inflammation and possibly leading to biliary fistulas. In extreme cases, it can be a precursor to gallbladder cancer. Early diagnosis of cholelithiasis is crucial to prevent complications, as it enables timely surgical intervention. Imaging diagnostic tools, such as ultrasound or computed tomography, facilitate its identification. Treatment generally involves laparoscopic cholecystectomy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure that removes the gallbladder and relieves complications. |
