[Septate gallbladder (author's transl)].

In 3,8% of 2,437 in-side patients, examined by x-rays, septs of the gallbladder, supposed to be congenital form variations, were found. There were no differences in sex distribution of the segmented organs and no recognizable correlation to increasing age. Usually, septations were found by accident without clinical relevance. In the proximal parts of the gallbladder located septs occasionally cause symptoms not to be differentiated from those of cholelithiasis. In these cases ectomize is indicated. Calculi are found to be more frequent in septate gallbladders than in unsegmented ones. Sex differences between concrement-bearing, septate gallbladders and unsegmented organs containing stones, were not observed. Likewise, there was no correlation of gallbladder-septs to other diseases, particularly to hepatitis.
