[Was the prognosis of gallstone disease improved? Analysis of 9,489 cholelithiasis sections].
Among 9,489 cholelithiasis autopsies the cases with cholecystectomy after 1970 significantly increased. At the same time the inflammatory complications with calculi (peritonitis, abscess, phlegmon, pylephlebitis, sepsis) became significantly more infrequent. But the remaining sequelae of calculi scarcely decreased, particularly not the lithogenic necroses of the pancreas and the non-suppurative cholangitis. After successful operation or conservative treatment many patients resume their old habits: but they are more endangered by dietary lapses and alcohol.
