| Core Tip |
Asymptomatic gallstones are incidentally detected on imaging. Aside from an extremely small number of patients who eventually have issues, in a few cases, life-threatening, most never become symptomatically apparent. Our treatment strategy for such patients has evolved over the years, driven by advances in imaging, laparoscopy, artificial intelligence (AI), and precision medicine. Physicians can now weigh the risk and decide who could benefit from early intervention with more advanced diagnostic and predictive tools. This review highlights how precision tools, including genomics, AI, and decision-support systems, will cause a paradigm shift in management from a one-size-fits-all approach to an individualised, patient-centred approach. |
