title: [Endoscopic removal of calculi from the gallbladder in acute cholecystitis].
abstract: The authors discuss the results of endoscopic removal of concrements from the gallbladder of 18 patients with acute cholecystitis through a gallbladder fistula established by operation or after drainage with a wide catheter during laparoscopy. Endoscopic manipulators were used for removal of the concrements, small stones were removed by forced washing off, large concrements were crushed by means of the "Urat-I" device. The concrements were removed in all cases. Recurrent attacks of acute cholecystitis were not registered for a period of one year. The method of fistulocholecystoscopy is described. Therapeutic fistulocholecystoscopy makes it possible to abandon the performance of the traditional operative interventions in patients suffering from severe concomitant diseases.
