The presence of one or more gallstones anatomically located at two possible sites in the gall bladder are known as cholelithiasis and in the common bile duct known as choledocholithiasis ^[1]. These stones are crystallized deposits either formed in the gall bladder or biliary tree and are mostly composed of cholesterol, bilirubin, and bile ^[2]. High biliary protein and lipid concentrations are risk factors for the formation of gallstones, while gallbladder sludge is thought to be the usual precursor of gallstones. A common disease spreading globally as a result of lifestyle changes associated with excessive junk food consumption and an increase in sedentary behaviour. Gallstone disease is more common in women. Obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hormonal imbalance are a few risk factors for gallstone formation.
