[Diagnosis and therapy of acute cholecystitis in liver cirrhosis]
Abstract:
The article deals with information on 12 patients with acute cholecystitis and cirrhosis of the liver (class A--with maintained hepatic function in 3, class B--with subcompensated hepatic function in 8, and class C--with decompensated stage of cirrhosis of the liver in one patient). The clinical picture was atypical and the course severe (purulent complications, hepatic insufficiency). Nonoperative management of the attack should be limited to 24 hours. Sparing decompression (laparoscopic or laparocentetic cholecystostomy) is the optimal method of treatment of class B and C patients. The tactics in class A patients does not differ from the commonly accepted tactics. Unfavorable outcomes (3) were linked with performance of emergency cholecystectomy in patients with disturbed hepatic function.
