[Disorders of microcirculation in patients with acute surgical diseases of the biliary tract]

The authors provide the results of studying the microcirculation in 85 patients with acute cholecystitis and 56 patients with mechanical jaundice caused by choledocholithiasis. The data were obtained with the aid of bulbar capillaroscopy during conservative and surgical treatment. Considerable alterations were detected in all the components of the microcirculation (perivascular, vascular, intravascular), correlating with the gravity of destructive lesions in the gallbladder, duration and degree of jaundice. The times and degree of the normalization of microcirculatory disorders were defined.
