Brief summary

Aims of the Study: The objective of this study is to estimate the correlation between etiological factors and postoperative histochemical analysis of pediatric gallbladder stones.

Detailed description

Study design: A prospective, cohort study. Duration of the study: The study starts from October 2024 to August 2025. Place of the study: The study will be held in Department of Pediatric surgery in Sohag University Hospital. Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria: Age \<18 years . Symptomatic gallbladder stones (biliary colic, fever, vomiting, positive Murphy sign ) . Congenital hemolytic anemia with gallbladder stones. Asymptomatic patient with gallbladder stones \<5mm after medical treatment (Ursodeoxycholic acid ) for 1year . Imaging criteria ( large gallbladder stone \< 1cm diameter , gallbladder thickness \>3mm ) either symptomatic or asymptomatic . Exclusion criteria: Age \>18 years. Asymptomatic patients who improved after follow up and medical treatment . Biliary anomaly as choledochal cyst , biliary stricture. Common bile duct stones .
