Abstract:
The paper presents pilot results of clinical application of developed experimintally method of treatment for acute cholecystitis based on demucosation of the gall-bladder followed by obliteration of its lumen. Two modifications of the method-treatment of mucous membrane of the gall-bladder by phenol emulsion (16 patients) and electrocoagulation of the mucosa (49 patients)--were used with good clinical results in patients with high operation risk. Follow-up results are available for up to 3.5 years.

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...

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins the common...
