Objective: To study the incidence of gallbladder polyps and the possibilities of modern methods of diagnosis and surgical treatment of this disease.
Material And Methods: There were 42 laparoscopic cholecystectomies in patients with diagnosed gallbladder polyps. The polyps were diagnosed preoperatively. Intraoperative diagnosis during surgery for gallstone disease was observed in 3 cases. A comparative analysis of preoperative examination did not reveal any advantages of certain diagnostic approach.
Results: Hyperplastic polyp was the most common type (=20, 47.6%), adenomatous polyps occurred in 19 (45.3%) cases, cholesteric polyps - in 3 (7.1%) patients. All patients had signs of chronic inflammation of the gallbladder wall with its infiltration by lymphocytes and histiocytes.
Conclusion: Further studies with clear criteria for the diagnosis of gallbladder polyps including ones for determining true polyps, precancerous and malignant polyps are required.

Background/aims: Cholecystectomy for gallbladder (GB) polyps is performed primarily based on preoperative images. This study examined the accuracy of surgical indications commonly used in clinical practice for detecting neoplastic polyps and investigated further clues for predicting neoplastic polyps.
Methods: This retrospective study included 385 patients who underwent a cholecystectomy for GB polyps.

Background: Gallbladder cholesterol polyp (GCP) and gallbladder adenoma (GA) are easily confused in clinical diagnosis. This study aims to establish a nomogram prediction model for preoperative prediction of the risk of GA patients.
Study Design: We retrospectively collected clinical data of GCP or GA patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) between January 2020 and April 2023.

Objective: This study was aimed at ascertaining the application value of abnormal prothrombin (PIVKA-II) and carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in gallbladder cancer (GBC) diagnosis.
Methods: A total of 70 GBC patients, 70 patients with benign gallbladder diseases (gallbladder stones and gallbladder polyps), and 70 normal health examination people were selected as the malignant, benign, and normal groups, respectively. The differences in serum levels and positive rates of PIVKA-II and CA125 were compared.

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a progressive demyelinating disorder resulting from the toxic accumulation of sulfatides. The stereotyped neurodegeneration of MLD is well understood, and cases are categorized into subtypes by age at neurologic onset: late infantile (LI), juvenile (J), and adult. The systemic burden of disease, such as gallbladder involvement, however, is less well characterized.
