ABSTRACT
Gallstones vary in nature, size, shape, and number. Cholesterol stones are the most common type. Cholelithiasis tend to be asymptomatic. The most common symptom is biliary colic. More serious complications include cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis, cholangitis, and gallstone pancreatitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard of treatment.
We describe a case of gallstone disease in a 27 years old male, where about eighteen thousand nine hundred seventy stones were extracted from the gallbladder through laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Key words: Multiple gallstones, Cholelithiasis, Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
