title: [Asymptomatic cholecystolithiasis in an ultrasonography study from Trencín].
abstract: The author examined 1952 girls and women aged 15 to 92 years by ultrasonography. The incidence of cholecystolithiasis in the group without complaints was 8.19% in the group with atypical complaints it was 17.67% and in the group with typical complaints it was 75.0%. The ratio of asymptomatic cholecystolithiasis of the first two groups combined was 67.0% of the total. The ratio of cholecystectomies in the total number of cases with cholecystolithiasis was 30.9%. The clinical manifestation of cholecystolithiasis is influenced greatly by genetic factors, i.e. symptomatic lithiasis in the mother. Prophylactic cholecystectomy in case of asymptomatic cholecystolithiasis should not be recommended.
