title: [Comparative analysis of different methods in the treatment of patients with acute calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis].
abstract: In the patients with different forms of cholelithiasis 1988 operations were performed, 597 of them - on account of acute calculous cholecystitis. In 118 (19%) patients with acute calculous cholecystitis choledocholithiasis was diagnosed. All the patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 consisted of 52 (44%) patients who have undergone conventional "open" operation with choledocholithotomy. Group 2 consisted of 66 (56%) patients treated with endoscopic techniques. In group 1 complications were seen in 4 (7.6%) patients, lethal outcome -- in 3 (5.7%), residual choledocholithiasis -- in 7 (13.4%). Mean hospital stay was 24.7 days. In group 2 complications were seen in 1 (2%) patient, residual choledocholithiasis -- in 1 (2%), there were no lethal outcomes. Mean hospital stay was 15.1 days. It is concluded that minimally invasive technologies in the treatment of acute calculous cholecystitis and choledocholithiasis improve results of treatment and shorten hospital stay.
