[Laser therapy in complex treatment of chronic acalculous cholecystitis]

The effectiveness of various laser techniques in patients with exacerbation of chronic acalculous cholecystitis was studied. The subjects were 62 patients, in whom the diagnosis was made using clinical and instrumental tests. The patients were divided into three groups. Group I received conventional pharmacotherapy; group II received a course of intravenous laser therapy in addition to it; group III received a course of laseropuncture and low-intensive laser irradiation of the hepatic area in addition to pharmacotherapy. The best results according to clinical and instrumental data were achieved in group III. Thus, the study demonstrates advantages provided by laser therapy in complex treatment of exacerbation of chronic acalculous cholecystitis
