title: [Acute cholecystitis and liver failure].
abstract: The article presents results of treatment of 300 patients with acute cholecystitis, 285 of them (95%) being operated upon. Hepatic insufficiency was found to develop in 173 patients (57,6%). The operation of choice was cholecystectomy (97,1%). Cholecystostomy was fulfilled in 7 patients (2,4%), in 2 patients (0,5%) choledocholithotomy was made following a previous cholecystectomy. Lethality in patients with hepatic insufficiency was 4 times as high as in patients without it. In 34,1% of the operated patients hepatic insufficiency was the main cause of death.
