[A new method of cholecystectomy]

On the basis of the results of specially performed investigations on 47 complexes of the liver with extrahepatic bile ducts and gallbladder, a new method of cholecystectomy has been developed. In the clinic, 132 patients were operated on for cholelithiasis, acute and chronic cholecystitis. In performance of subserous cholecystectomy, a danger of injuring the vessels of the hepatoduodenal ligament is excluded, its adequate blood supply and that of hepatic parenchyma adjacent to the gallbladder is preserved.
