Illustration of stones in gall bladder & bile duct
Illustration of gallstone disease, showing a group of stones (grey) forming in the gall bladder (green), with one solitary stone in the common bile duct (lower centre). Gallstone are classified by their composition into two main groups: cholesterol stones & bile pigment stones. The majority of gallstones remain in the gall bladder & produce no symptoms (" silent" gallstones). Obstruction of the bile duct causes jaundice, bacterial infection (cholangitis) & formation of a liver abscess. Treatment is mainly by removal of the gall bladder (cholecystectomy), although dissolution is possible in some patient with cholesterol gallstones

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases an intricate illustration of stones in the gall bladder and bile duct, shedding light on the complexities of gallstone disease. The image vividly depicts a group of grey stones forming within the vibrant green gall bladder, while one solitary stone resides in the lower center of the common bile duct. Gallstones are classified into two main groups based on their composition: cholesterol stones and bile pigment stones. Interestingly, most gallstones remain dormant within the gall bladder, causing no symptoms and earning them the moniker "silent" gallstones. However, when these stones obstruct the bile duct, they can lead to jaundice, bacterial infection known as cholangitis, and even formation of a liver abscess. The primary treatment for this condition is typically surgical removal of the entire gall bladder through a procedure called cholecystectomy. Nevertheless, some patients with cholesterol gallstones may have alternative options such as dissolution therapy. This remarkable artwork not only provides valuable insights into this medical disorder but also serves as a testament to science's ability to visually represent complex health conditions. It reminds us that understanding our bodies' intricacies is crucial for maintaining optimal health care practices.
