INTRODUCTION: Cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed abdominal surgery operations. The most common indications are biliary dyskinesia, symptomatic cholelithiasis, and acute or chronic cholecystitis. If ultrasound examination of the abdomen reveals a gallbladder polyp, regular monitoring or cholecystectomy is recommended, depending on its size and possibility of malignant alteration. The research hypothesis is that the majority of polyps detected by ultrasound examination are in fact smaller coleliths or thick bile. ----- AIM:The aim of the study is to compare whether ultrasonographic, intraoperative and pathohistological findings of gallbladder polyps correlate with each other and determine the frequency of gallbladder polyps in the observed sample. ----- SUBJECTS AN METHODS: A retrospective analysis of all cholecystectomies in a tertiary institution over a five-year period compared ultrasonographic, intraoperative, and pathohistological diagnoses of gallbladder polyps. Registers, ultrasound findings, surgery lists and histopathological findings were reviewed and the required data were collected. ----- RESULTS: The primary sample consisted of 3651 patients. A final sample of 3445 patients was determined after applying the exclusion criteria. Ultrasound examination revealed polyps in 206 (5.97%) cases, macroscopic intraoperative examination revealed 46 (1.33%) polyps, and 7 (0.20%) polyps were confirmed by histopathological examination. ----- CONCLUSION: Ultrasonographical, intraoperative and postoperative pathohistological diagnosis of gallbladder polyps widely differ and the frequency of gallbladder polyps in the observed sample is low.
