  • Title: Gallbladder disease in pregnancy.
    Author: Stauffer RA, Adams A, Wygal J, Lavery JP.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1982 Nov 15; 144(6):661-4. PubMed ID: 7137250.
    Abstract:
    Cholecystosonography was performed on 338 obstetric patients, and the gallbladder was successfully visualized in 93% of them. Gallbladder volume increased with duration of pregnancy. Three and one-half percent of the patients had obvious cholelithiasis, and a total of 4.2% had abnormalities. These findings suggest that cholecystosonography should become part of the routine obstetric ultrasound examination.
