title: [Choledochotomy in emergency surgery on the extrahepatic biliary tracts].
abstract: Choledochotomy in urgent operations for acute cholecystitis has been carried out upon 255 patients. Indications for the dissection of the common bile duct in acute cholecystitis are considered. Methods of completion of choledochotomy are discussed. According to the authors' data in the most of the patients the external drainage of the common bile duct was done. Immediate and late results of this operation happened to be worse than those following choledochal blind suture or biliodigestive anastomosis (choledochoduodenostomy). On this basis it is recommended to restrict the use of the external drainage.
