title: [Study of crystal structures of the bile in the diagnosis of gallstone composition and prognostication of the possibilities of their dissolution].
abstract: Bile was studied by polarizing microscopy and gallstones by infrared spectroscopy in 150 patients with cholelithiasis. It was established that the presence or absence of certain hard crystal structures in bile, determined by polarizing microscopy, reflects with sufficient accuracy the chemical composition of gallstones in patients with cholelithiasis. The high degree of correlation of the prognosticated result of litholysis on the basis of polarizing microscopy and the results of gallstone dissolution in experiments shows that the information gained in polarizing microscopy may be used as one of the most important criteria in determining the indications and contraindications for dissolving gallstones with octagline.
