    Abstract:
    During the recent years 202 patients with cholelithic disease and its complications have been treated in the clinic. In 135 patients admitted to the hospital an attack of severe pains was followed by jaundice and symptoms of hepatic insufficiency (HI). A compensated stage of HI was diagnosed in 68 (50.4%) patients, subcompensated stage--in 38 (28.1%), decompensated--in 25 (18.5%) and terminal stage of HI--in 4 patients (3%). The operative treatment was used in 142 patients (70.3%). The operation of choice was cholecystectomy. An intervention on the common bile duct was performed in 59 patients (41.5%). Operations were performed on 42 patients with the compensated stage of HI (one of them died), in 17 patients with the subcompensated stage (one patient died), in 16 patients with the decompensated stage (three patients died); with the terminal stage there were 4 patients operated upon. Two of them died.
