Abstract:

:Gallstone disease continues to be one of the more common abdominal problems that prompts medical evaluation, particularly in the elderly population. The presentation is diverse, and the treatment options varied. Primary care physicians need to be familiar with the differential diagnosis, evaluation, and therapeutic options available. LC has emerged as the preferred treatment for patients with symptomatic gallstone disease.
