the injury to the gall bladder manifest
themselves to the patient? Principally
in two ways = Indigestion and pain.
The digestive disturbance is character
lied by discomfort, fulIness after eating,
gas, and at times sour stomach. 1t is
most apt to be produced by rich, fatty
or fried foods. Often high-roughage
foods like members of the cabbage fam
lily are poorly tolerated.
Since the symptoms of indigestion
can have several causes, it is important
to make certain gallStones are present.
X-ray diagnosis has become highly accu-
rate. Stones which contain lime salts can
be seen in the plain X ray, and more in
formation can be gained by special stud
les. The patient is given a substance
containing iodine the night before the
examination. This is absorbed into the
blood stream and appears in the bile. If
the iodine enters the gall bladder the
organ will be visible in the X-ray film.
Some newer preparations even make il
possible to see part of the duct system.
Gallstones vary in size from grain

SINUS SUFFERERS: Read next
weeks A.M.A.-authorized article for

causes and how to deal with them.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-06-03

Of sand to larger than walnut, and
there is usually more than one. Modern
X-ray technique makes it possible to see
even tiny stones if the dye enters the gall
bladder. If the gall bladder does not
show on the X ray, the dose is repeated
the following day. If it still cannot be
seen it is safe to assume that the entrance
is blocked by stone or that the gall
bladder has been virtually destroyed.
The pain Of gallstoneS is produced by
the violent effort Of the gall bladder to
expel stone, which usually becomes
wedged in the tapering stem end. The
pain is situated in the pit of the stomach
or slightly to the right. 1t frequently
radiates through to the back and may be
felt in the region of the shoulder blade.
1t may last for a few minutes or many
hours, and is often described by women
as more severe than labor pains. If the
stone moves back into the gall bladder
the pain subsidies, but the region usually
is sore for some time. Nausea and vomit-
ing are common during attacks.
If the stone remains wedged in the
narrow end the patient becomes more
seriously i'll and has fever, localized pain
and perhaps tender swelling beneath
the right ribs. When stone is forced
into the duct system, it continues to
cause pain and often produces jaundice.
Operation Risk Slight
When stones are present and have pro-
duced symptoms there is complete agree
ment among surgeons that in most cases
the gall bladder should be removed. The
risk of the operation is minimal pro-
vided the patient is in reasonable health
and the surgeon experienced in this
field. With proper care the mortality rate
is fraction of one per cent.
Occasionally stones are found acct
dentalIy in X-ray examination made for
other reasons. If these produce no symp-
toms they are called silent stones"
Careful inquiry usually reveals that they
are not completely silent" Most sur
geons believe such organs should be
removed before they cause serious COM
plicationS. An additional reason is that
while cancer of the gall bladder is
comparatively rare, it is almost never
found in gall bladder which does not
contain stones.
Indigestion caused by poorly func-
tioning gall bladder without stones
should be treated by diet and medication
rather than by surgery. The results Of
surgery are disappointing in the absence
of stones, because the gall bladder may
not be the primary cause.
There is no method of dissolving gall
stones. They must be removed surgically.
Then in most cases portion of the bile
duct gradually takes over the function Of
the gall bladder. The patient usually
does not need special diet, and can
lead perfectly normal life.
