Children of all ages, including neonates, can have gallstones. According to international data the incidence seems to be increasing, but Danish data are missing. The most frequent associated conditions are haemolytic anaemia, children treated with total parenteral nutrition, and children who have undergone abdominal surgery, while older children with pregnancy or obesity are disposed. Between 40 and 65% have cholelithiasis on an idiopathic basis. When spontaneous dissolution of the gallstones is not to be expected, the treatment is surgery, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a well-described, safe and mini-invasive treatment, which can also be recommended for children.
