Cholelithiasis is a chronic disease that is characterized by the formation of stones (gallstones) in the gall bladder and bile ducts. It is almost four times more common among women, especially those with overweight.

In need of surgery, the operation which is performed in patients with gallstones is called cholecystectomy. It can be conventional (open) or laparoscopic (bloodless). In "Vita" Hospital we apply with priority the laparoscopic technique, which has already established itself as the "gold standard" in the surgical treatment of benign gallbladder disease.
