[Choice of the policy, terms, and method of surgery in acute cholecystitis].

: Results of treatment of 763 patients with different forms of cholecystitis were analyzed. It was revealed that complex ultrasonic examination with dopplerography identifies the form of acute cholecystitis, allows to, predict technical difficulties in cholecystectomy and define optimum method of surgery. Comparative assessment of time of surgeries, rate of conversion of surgical approach, number of intra- and postoperative complications, lethality demonstrated that early urgent surgeries in acute cholecystitis before formation of inflammatory paravesical infiltrate in patients without high anesthesiological risk were similar to ones in elective surgeries and surpassed results of delayed surgeries. Early urgent surgeries permit to decrease hospital stay of patients with acute cholecystitis and reduce cost of treatment.
