[Cholelithiasis in patients with primary extrahepatic portal hypertension]

The results of treatment of 17 patients who had primary extrahepatic portal hypertension in combination with cholelithiasis are analysed. Of them 13, were operated on. In presence of the extended strictures of the bile ducts, the performance of hepaticojejunostomy is mandatory. In dominating involvement of the extrahepatic bile ducts, the endoscopic papillotomy as a definitive intervention is expedient. In asymptomatic course of cholelithiasis, the operation is not expedient.
