CORTIZA ORBE, Guillermo Máximo et al. Clinical Practice Guidelines of Vesicular Lithiasis in Children and Adolescents. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2021, vol.93, n.3, e1493.  Epub Oct 01, 2021. ISSN 0034-7531.

Vesicular lithiasis in childhood and adolescence has had a marked increase in recent years. In European countries such as England, cholecystectomies have tripled since 1997 and in 2012 at the Children's Hospital in Santiago de Cuba accounted for 96.4% of all major elective operations. At the IV National Symposium on Pediatric Surgery (Varadero, Matanzas, July 1-3, 2019) this " Clinical Practice Guidelines of Vesicular Lithiasis in Children and Adolescents" was presented, discussed and approved, and it was recommended, at the conclusion of that event, to share this guidelines through its publication, for pediatric surgery services to use it as a reference and to be applied in the institutions of the Cuban health system which are responsible for the health care of children and adolescents.
