    Abstract:
    Analysis of the results of treatment of 152 patients with acute cholangitis of benign origin made it possible to substantiate two-stage therapeutic tactics consisting in instrumental decompression at the peak to the disease and a corrective intervention conducted after removal of the clinical manifestations of ascending biliary infection and cholemic intoxication. The two-stage method of treatment of acute cholangitis allowed the frequency of purulent complications of hepatic insufficiency to be reduced and the postoperative mortality to be lowered six fold.
