Ahh, the courtyard and playing grounds of al ristorante di Horatio, Mario, Gio and Co, which can mean only one thing: this lesson is about gallbladder disease. In this sketch, we’ll take a look at several conditions ailing that tiny little green pouch of bile nestled just behind the liver, including cholelithiasis, choledocholithiasis, and even gallbladder cancer. In this video, we’ll be focusing on biliary colic, the classic right upper quadrant pain after fatty meals, and its key risk factors. We discuss choledocholithiasis, where a gallstone blocks the bile duct, causing prolonged pain and jaundice, and highlight the importance of ultrasound and ERCP for diagnosis and treatment. Finally, we touch on the rare but deadly gallbladder cancer, emphasizing signs like porcelain gallbladder and the need for cholecystectomy.
