    Abstract:
    Introduction of endoscopic and laparoscopic methods in surgical treatment of chronic calculous cholecystitis and its complications has changed not only the character of surgical interventions, but the surgical policy as well. The operation of choice in uncomplicated calculous cholecystitis is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which whenever indicated, is advisable to be combined with other surgical interventions allowing the recovery from the concomitant surgical diseases. In complicated calculous cholecystitis in dependence on the character of bile ducts disorder and patient's condition, 3 versions of surgical interventions are possible: one stage radical correction of all pathologic changes of the biliary tract and surgical treatment, including 2-3 separate, less traumatic and more tolerable procedure. The choice of optimal policy of treatment reduces the risk of operation, decreases postoperation mortality rate and complications.
