Oxford Comma
suggestion

"Many cases of dropped gallstones will be asymptomatic. However, patients may become symptomatic if a complication develops and may present with infective symptoms, pain or fistula (e.g. through the body wall) formation."

Line 3:158 · Use the Oxford comma in 'symptoms, pain or fistula'.
Inline EG
suggestion

"The dropped stone will generally need to be removed if it is causing complications (e.g. abscess formation)."

Line 25:87 · Consider replacing a bracketed e.g. with an inline e.g. after a comma.
