ABSTRACT
Gallstones are commonly observed after rapid weight loss, particularly after bariatric surgery. Preventive measures of gallstone formation and potential related complications are still debated. This study aimed to propose a standardized strategy according to the results of the literature. Thus, preventive measures should be determined according to patient status (evaluated clinically and by routine ultrasound) and the type of bariatric surgery. Cholecystectomy should be performed in patients with symptomatic gallstones irrespective of the planned operation, or for asymptomatic gallstones during a gastric by-pass. In other settings, ursodesoxycholic acid should be given postoperatively for 6 months.
