[Suture threads as a cause of biliary calculi].
On the basis of 34 observations the authors reject the common opinion of a rare formation of bile stones on suture threads. The complication was not often recognized because the concrements removed in repeated operations were not subjected to destruction and thorough examination. To prevent the formation of stones on suture threads in operations on bile pathways threads of a slowly resolving material should be used.
