Background: Digestive system complications caused by gallstones frequently result in hospital
admissions. These stones are surprisingly common, even among young and otherwise healthy people,
with autopsy studies revealing an occurrence rate of 11-36%. While some individuals may remain
asymptomatic, the condition can nonetheless have substantial financial implications for healthcare
systems and potentially lead to severe, life-threatening complications. The frequency of gallstone
formation varies, with factors such as age, sex, and racial background playing a role, and can show
differences across various countries and geographical areas.
