It is a complete reference for researchers introducing new techniques to help prevent extreme treatments such as a cholecystectomy. This reference provides current knowledge and basic challenges of understanding gallstone formation, with all variations of composition, including complications of the treatment process. This content directs researchers to focus on gallstone mechanisms to design and develop new treatment methods. The book provides all possible factors for gallstone formation as well as preventative measures.
- Offers treatment methods, including both chemical and herbal methods
- Presents mechanisms behind gallstone formation that are important to researchers to determine treatment methods that can prevent cholecystectomy
- Includes the latest research on acute pancreatitis, one of the major concerns of gastrointestinal disease
- Discusses the effects of gallstone as a cancer-causing mechanism
