[One-stage combined operations in cholelithiasis]
Abstract:
Immediate results of one-stage combined operations in 509 patients aged 16 to 90 years with cholelithiasis performed in 1981-2005 were analyzed. Main indications for one-stage combined operations in these patients in urgent and elective surgery are listed. The operation was elective in 457 (89.8%) cases and urgent -- in 52 (10.2%). Laparotomy and cholecystectomy with hernioplasty were performed in 180 (35.4%) patients, resection of the stomach in patients with duodenal and gastric ulcer -- in 89 (17.5%), extirpation of the stomach for cancer -- in 89 (17.5%) patients. Retroperitoneal surgeries were performed in 13 (2.6%) patients. The operations were performed under general anesthesia in all the 509 patients. Postoperative lethality was 0.8% (4 patients).
