Cholelithiasis is the presence of one or more gallstones within the gallbladder. Gallstone disease is a common cause for surgical intervention all over the world.The objective of the study is to determine the order of frequency of clinical presentations for cholelithiasis in laparoscopically cholecystectomized patients in AL-Karama teaching hospital.A total sample of 156 clearly documented gallstone disease and laparoscopic cholecystectomized patients were involved in the present study. In the current study, 156 laparoscopic cholecystectomized patients; (34) males and (122) females, ages range between 20 and 69 years with a mean (m=39.24±11.7). Common factors that justified the indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were found in the majority of patients with asymptomatic and mild GI presentation those factors include microlithiasis < 3mm, risk for gallbladder CA, history of bariatric surgery, coexistent morbidities like diabetes mellitus (DM) and hemolytic anemia (HA) or the LC was done in concomitant with another laparoscopic surgery.From the present study, we concluded that the mild GI symptoms represented by dyspepsia, nausea, flatulence and constipation, were at the top of clinical presentations for gallstone patients who underwent LC. The distribution of cases was higher in the 4 th decade of life with female predominance.

Gall stone disease remains a common and significant cause of suffering in most parts of the world. Gallstones are the most common biliary pathology. A descriptive study covered 80 patients underwent surgical treatment for gallstone diseases. Ultrasound study and plain abdominal X-ray were done to confirm the presence of gallstone. More than half of the sample 58.8% were in the oldest age group 50-69 year. Female were 68(85%) and the remaining 12(15%) patients were male. Most of patients 60(75.0%) operated upon by open cholecystectomy, laparoscope used in 18(22.5%). The main finding on exploring the abdomen was inflammatory adhesion in 54(67.5%) of the patients, thick wall gallbladder came next in 12 (15%) patients. Many complications and clinical findings associated with gallstone, some of them are serious other are even fatal. That is why cholecystectomy is highly indicated even for silent gallstone.

Background: A gallbladder stone (GBS) is a foremost reason of morbidity worldwide. Majority of the cases are asymptomatic (>80%). Gallstones can be divided into three main types: cholesterol, pigment and mixed stones. The documented risk factors for GBS mostly are the advanced age, female gender, obesity, high-caloric diets and oral contraceptive, all of these can increase the lithogenicity of bile. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study was conducted at general surgical consultation departments in two major multispecialty hospitals in Baghdad (Al-Yarmook and Al Karama Teaching Hospitals) and in different health centers in Baghdad and through an online survey between February 2022 and February 2023. The study sample included 225 participants of both genders. The study questionnaires were sent through electronic format to the participants and the questions were asked to the others directly with enough time to respond well. The target population was all segments of society in the city of Baghdad. Results: The 225 patients were collected which their age range from 18 to 80 years of age. According to the collected data which showed that the percentage of GBS higher in female than male in value (54.2%) while for male (45.8%). Additionally, also it was found that the residence place has an important impact for this study and it presented that residency in urban places was (96.9%) which is higher than rural places which was only (3.1%). Also, most of patients were with: collage education (73.8%), non-employed (52.9%), middle-income class (72.4%). The results showed significant result (p<0.05) and good association between age, and type of stones present (solitary or multiple); but for the gender, education level, occupation status, residence, socioeconomic class the results was non-significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of asymptomatic gallstone was relatively high in this region. Female gender, age, high cholesterol level, family history of gallstones, and increased BMI independent risk factors for gallstones formation.
