This study evaluates patients diagnosed with Gall stone, focusing on their clinical
presentations, medical histories, treatment regimens, and compliance. Patients ranged in age
from 25 to 66 years, with a predominance of males (80%). The most common symptoms
included flank pain, fever, urinary retention, and burning micturition. Diagnoses were mainly
Gall stone stones, with 4 patients suffering from bilateral Gall stone calculi, while others had
unilateral stones or hydronephroureter. Standard treatment involved IV fluids (N/S, Provas),
antibiotics (Cefoperazone, Meronem), and pain relief medications (Tramadol, No Spa) at the
ward level. Home treatment mirrored the ward regimen, with no significant drug interactions
reported. Remarkably, 80% of the patients showed satisfactory compliance, though one patient
demonstrated poor adherence.
