Background: The goal of the study is to determine how frequently patients with cholelithiasis/ choledhocolithiasis also have hypothyroidism. To determine whether a thyroid profile is necessary for biliary lithiasis patients. Method: A prospective and observational investigation carried out at the Department of General Surgery, Sri Venkateswaraa Medical College Hospital & Research Centre, Puducherry, India ethics committee granted permission for a study to be conducted on 75 subjects from April 2022 to March 2023. Result: The average age of gallstone sufferers is 47.14 years old. The ratio of men to women is 1: 2.2. Hypertension was the most common co-morbidity, affecting 21.3% of the patients. Four patients were converted from a laparoscopic to an open operation out of the 35 patients who received laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hypothyroidism was present in 27% of patients with cholelithiasis/choledocolitiasis. The majority of the group was female and aged between 50 and 70. This category includes more than 72% of hypothyroidism patients. Conclusion: The study found that middle-aged females are at greater risk for hypothyroidism. Undiagnosed and untreated hypothyroidism in such persons will cause recurrence and consequences. Thus, early treatment of hypothyroidism-related gall stones will help patients.
