2003
: Cholelithiasis is a rare pathology in children and with a different etiology, composition and clinic than adult. Cholecystectomy is the standardized treatment. The cholecystectomy is an alternative treatment in childhood. We studied 30 patients, aged between 8 months and 13 years, 15 of them with cholecystectomy and 15 with removal of pigment gallstones. The patients were followed up for 3 months-11 years. Recurrent stone formation was noted in one patient. 14 of the patients were non-symptomatic with normal ecography controls.
