title: [Acute acalculous cholecystitis as a surgical problem].
abstract: Experience in operative treatment of 228 patients for acute acalculous cholecystitis is analysed. This disease differs from acute calculous cholecystitis essentially in the main clinical and morphological signs. Four types of acute acalculous cholecystitis were distinguished according to origin: vascular, enzymatic, enzymatic-vascular, and obturative. The clinical forms are shown: primary vascular, emphysematous, posttraumatic, gallbladder torsion, enzymatic, obturative. It is pointed out that acute acalculous cholecystitis is characterized by rapid destruction of the cystic wall and frequent and severe involvement of the liver and bile ducts, in view of which the tactics of early operations is justified in this pathological condition.
