title: [Application of mini-invasive technologies in treatment of chronic biliary pancreatitis].
abstract: Results of examination and treatment of 609 patients with chronic biliary pancreatitis (CHBP), caused by various forms of cholelithic disease, papillostenosis, cystic transformation of biliary ducts, were analyzed. There were applied open, laparoscopic and endoscopic methods of treatment. Diagnostic algorithm was elaborated, which proved its trustworthiness in 92% of observations. There were established possibilities and advantages of miniinvasive technologies in the treatment of CHBP, expediency of their usage to reduce the hospital stay duration and frequency of complications, to improve the quality of life of the patients.
