Objectives: This study aims to investigate the gender in which gallstone formation is seen more frequently and whether hepatic and extrahepatic biliary tract variations are associated with gallstone formation.Methods: 60 patients who underwent endoscopic intervention and MRCP between 2017-2019 were included in thestudy. Patients with gastrointestinal complaints such as gallstones, gall bladder inflammation, Ductus choledochus(DCH) stones who have been admitted to the SBU Derince Training and Research Hospital's gastroenterology clinicwere included in the study, and patients with secondary diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia were excluded from the study. In this way, 33 male and 27 female patients were included in the study and MRCP was carriedout with all of them. Measurements were performed in all patients participating in the study. Variation types and thepresence of gallstones were examined in MRCP images.Results: In 60 cases examined, the presence of gallstones was observed to be statistically significantly higher in womencompared to men. There was no statistically significant relationship between biliary tract variations and gallstone formation (p=0.504).Conclusion: Gallbladder formation is found to be more common in women. The presence of biliary tract variations didnot affect the development of the gallstone presence. It may be necessary to consider this phenomenon especiallybefore surgical and radiological examinations to determine variational conditions and to conduct studies examiningthe relationship between this situation and gallstone formation.
