Abstract:
Under analysis were 282 patients operated for acute cholecystitis, cholecystectomy being added by the external or internal drainage of bile ducts. It was established that the presence of jaundice, cholangitis, cholecystopancreatitis and gallstones in the ducts were considered as indications for choledochotomy in elderly and senile patients. The general lethality among the patients operated for acute cholecystitis complicated by injuries of the common bile duct made up 10,6%, in the group of elderly and senile patients it was 15,5.

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, most commonly caused by obstruction of the cystic duct. This blockage prevents bile from draining, leading to gallbladder distension, inflammation, and potentially serious complications. This condition may present acutely or chronically and can happen with or without gallstones.EtiologyAbout 95% of cholecystitis cases are calculous, caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct, leading to bile accumulation and inflammation of the gallbladder...
