title: [Results of treatment of cholelithiasis and its consequences; the so called "postcholecystectomy-syndrome" (author's transl)].
abstract: Our analysis of 378 patients made after operations for diseases of the gallbladder and bile tract underlines the demand of an exact preoperative diagnostic examination of other abdominal organs, e.g. the oesophagus, stomach, duodenum, liver and pancreas. The value of using modern intraoperative diagnostic procedures for the biliary tract is confirmed. Our analysis also demonstrates the necessity of traeting cholelithiasis surgically at an early stage. Complications of cholelithiasis include a higher risk, a worse prognosis with regard to permanent healing and a higher rate of postoperative lethality.
