title: [Authors' experience with the role of preoperative ultrasonography in the study of benign lesions of the gallbladder].
abstract: The benign parietal lesions of the gallbladder are diseases that, as known, found their pathogenetic moment on hyperplasia of constituent tissues of the gallbladder wall and comprises the controversial chapter of "cholecystosis". The Authors, to contribute to their better clinical and pathogenetic staging, report their experience on 25 cases. They debate on the usefulness of ultrasonography, surely a diagnostic progress for these formations, which are small structures more or less echogenic and that they develop in the gallbladder; the echographic imaging, for its sharpening, has substituted the cholecystographic procedure. The aim of present study is to analyse the results obtained by using echography as diagnostic preoperative procedure of "cholecystosis". The ultrasonography supplies the surgeon an indication to prophylactic surgical treatment as single, effective procedure in preventing the gallbladder carcinoma.
