  • Title: [Incarcerated gallbladder in cholecystitis].
    Author: D'iachenko PK, Serdiuk IA.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1975 Oct; 115(10):32-37. PubMed ID: 840.
    Abstract:
    Among 206 examined patients with cholecystitis and similar diseases in 112 (65%) cases, as evidenced by the authors' findings, the gallbladder proved to be non-functioning. Its escape in the biliary system was functional (indirect) or organic (absolute). The main causes of a direct organic escape of the gallbladder are as follows: destructive changes in its walls, strictures, strangulated gall stones, shrinkage or hydropsy. The reliable preoperative diagnosis of an escaped gallbladder by means of accelerated chromoduodenal catheterization, intravenous (infusion-drip) or associated (intravenous-peroral) cholecystocholangiography, correlated with the anamnesis data and clinical signs, rather speaks in favour of cholecystectomy on absolute indications.
