Exciting major changes have occurred in the understanding and
treatment of gallstone disease over the last two decades. In bygone
years, books about gallstones were often based on postgraduate
lectures which the author, usually a surgeon of distinction, had
given. More recently, many books dealing with this subject have
been based upon national or international conferences. The
single-author text has the disadvantage that few authors today can
authoritatively encompass a whole field: the reports of symposia,
conferences or workshops often lack balance and auth ority. The
merits of 'Gallstone disease and its Management' edited by Malcolm
Bateson are clear. He has chosen 11 authors, all of whom write on
topics relating to their own expertise, and the content of the book
has been carefully planned to reflect the most modern ideas about
the aetiology and management of cholesterol gallstones. It is worth
repeating that we are experiencing rapid developments in the field
of gallstone disease. Disappointingly the least progress has been
made in identifying the cause (or causes) of the disease
notwithstanding the many data implicating a variety of
environmental factors. Most of these affect the chemistry of
hepatic bile and the contribution of the gallbladder to
lithogenesis remains uncertain and unstudied."
