[Retrospective view of the development of surgical therapy of gallstones].
This paper gives a short historical overview of the evolution of biliary surgery from John Stough Bobbs (1867) until the present day. The development of different diagnostic methods (from cholangiography to sonography) are described also, as well as the different therapeutic methods including laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hans Kehr (1862-1916) was a distinguished pioneer in the development of biliary surgery.
