N2 - Gallstone disease is a leading cause of morbidity in the United States and usually requires surgical or endoscopic interventions for diagnosis and/or treatment. Although gallstone disease is classically associated with the inflammatory sequela of cholecystitis, gallstones can also contribute to other clinical presentations such as gallstone ileus, Mirizzi syndrome, and Bouveret syndrome.
