Chronological changes in epidemiologic features of patients with gallstones over the last 20 years in a single large-volume Korean center.

Although no distinct increase in cholesterol stones was noted, the proportion of CB stones decreased. As the mean age at gallstone presentation increases, BP stones could become more prevalent.
