Objective. To improve the quality of diagnosis and results of treatment in patients, suffering an acute cholecystitis, complicated by formation of perivesicular infiltrate, abscess and Mirizzi’s syndrome. Materials and methods. Results of diagnosis and surgical treatment of 694 patients, suffering an acute cholecystitis, ageing 38 - 87 yrs old, admitted to the clinic in 2010 - 2019 yrs, were analyzed. The examination have included general clinical investigation, biochemical investigations of the blood, ultrasonographic investigation of a gallbladder and extrahepatic biliary ducts, and in accordance to certain indications – computer tomography, papilloscopy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography. Results. Of 694 patients, suffering an acute cholecystitis in 541 (78.0%) perivesical complications were revealed. In 215 (31.0%) patients perivesical infiltrate was formed, while in 76 (11.0%) – perivesical abscess. In 250 (36.0%) patients an acute cholecystitis have developed on background of obturation jaundice, caused by choledocholithiasis in 138 patients, while in 98 patients Mirizzi’s syndrome Type I was diagnosed, and in 14 - Mirizzi’s syndrome Type II. Of 215 patients with an acute cholecystitis and perivesical infiltrate in 84 laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed after course of antibacterial therapy, while in 131 patients – open cholecystectomy. In all 76 patients with perivesical abscess open cholecystectomy was performed. Of 138 patients, suffering obturation jaundice on background of choledocholithiasis in 82 endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography with simultaneous lithoextraction and subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy was conducted. In 56 patients naso-biliary drainage was installed and was held in place till calculi from common biliary duct have gone away and subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed. Of 98 patients with an acute cholecystitis and confirmed Mirizzi’s syndrome Type I in 95 laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed, while in 3 – the open one. Of 14 patients, suffering Mirizzi’s syndrome Type II, in 10 open operation was done with sanation of biliary ducts and plasty of a common biliary duct defect, while in 4 – laparoscopic cholecystocholedocholithotomy with restoration of the bile physiological passage. Conclusion. In 78.0% patients with an acute cholecystitis perivesical complications were diagnosed. Of 531 patients with perivesical infiltrate, choledocholithiasis and Mirizzi’s syndrome in 321 (60.5%) laparoscopic operations on biliary ducts were accomplished. Open laparotomy was performed in 210 (39.5%) patients. In all the patients, suffering Mirizzi’s syndrome of both Types, physiologic passage of bile was preserved.

Objective. A search for factors, promoting development of an acute biliary pancreatitis, and peculiarities of its signs in patients, suffering obstruction of extrahepatic biliary ducts. Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of treatment in 283 patients, suffering obstruction of extrahepaic biliary ducts, was conducted, together with various indices analysis in patients, suffering an acute biliary pancreatitis and without acute biliary pancreatitis. Results. An acute biliary pancreatitis was diagnosed in 30 (10.6%) patients. Trustworthy differences (p < 0.05) were revealed, concerning pronounced pain syndrome, hyperthermia, leukocytosis, young neutrophils, general bilirubin, amylase in the blood, the gallbladder volume, choledocholithiasis, the fixed calculus and stenosis of duodenal papilla magna, cholangitis. Big calculi of hepaticocholedochus did not associated with development of an acute biliary pancreatitis, and a sludge in common biliary duct and stenosis of duodenal papilla magna were characteristic for an acute biliary pancreatitis (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Sludge of common biliary duct, stenosis and fixed calculus of duodenal papilla magna, bilirubinemia 70 mcmol/l and higher constitute the risk factors for development of an acute biliary pancreatitis, and the pronounced abdominal pain syndrome, hyperthermia, hyperamylasemia, leucocytosis, increase of the young neutrophils content up to 7% and higher, the volume of  a gallbladder 50 cm3 and more - served as the signs of an acute biliary pancreatitis in obstruction of extrahepatic biliary ducts. In obstruction of extrahepatic biliary ducts with an acute biliary pancreatitis, comparing with obstruction of extrahepatic biliary ducts without an acute biliary pancreatitis, cholangitis is revealed trustworthily: 16.7 and 5.1% accordingly (p < 0.05).

The causes of malignant extrahepatic biliary obstruction (MEBO) are pancreatic head carcinoma, ampulloma, cholangiocarcinoma, gall bladder cancer, less often — metastatic lymph nodes. Endoscopic biliary drainage (EBD) of extrahepatic ducts (ED) including stent placement plays a key role for cholestasis resolving. Aim — to evaluate the effectiveness of EBD in case of MEBO, depending on its level. Data of 36 patients with MEBO treated with EBD were retrospectively analyzed. Statistic methods: mean value and standart diviation were used. Ampulloma was the cause of MEBO in 7 cases, EBD was effective in all of them. Of 18 patients with MEBO at the level of distal 1/3 of ED, EBD was effective in 13. In the case of an MEBO of the middle 1/3of ED, EBD was successful in 3 of 6 patients, in the proximal 1/3 — in 3 out of 5. Thus, endoscopic biliary drainage was successful in 72% cases of malignant biliary obstruction. In case of obstruction at the papilla level, the success of endoscopic drainage has been achieved in all cases. Failure of EBD was due to inability of performing ERCP — mainly in cases of distal obstruction and the inability to get through obstruction — in the middle and proximal sections of the extrahepatic biliary tract.

Summary. Objective — a retrospective analysis of the causes of TEI complications and the results of their treatment. Materials and methods. The long-term results of performed TEI in 2909 patients were analyzed. The most common indication for TEI was choledocholithiasis, which was found in 1873 (65.4 %) patients and stenosis of papilla was detected in 454 (15.6 %) patients. Complications arose in 112 (3.85 %) patients. 4 (0.14 %) patients died. Results. Bleeding occurred in 28 (0.96 %) patients. In 12 of 26 patients, endoscopic hemostatic manipulations were additionally performed. Two patients with profuse bleeding from a papillotomy wound were urgently operated on, one patient died. Acute pancreatitis occurred in 68 (2.33 %) patients, of which 56 (1.92 %) had an edematous form, and 12 (0.41 %) patients had a destructive form. 11 patients were operated on from 2 to 15 days from the onset of the disease. Two patients with pancreatic necrosis died of intoxication, the source of which was progressive retroperitoneal necrosis. In 5 (0.17 %) patients, intervention on the papilla was complicated by perforation of the wall of the duodenum. 4 out of 5 patients were urgently operated on (B-2 antrumectomy, external drainage of the common bile duct and retro duodenal space). All 4 patients recovered. In 1 patient, complication was diagnosed on the 5th day after the intervention, which led to delayed surgery and the death of the patient. In 11 patients (0.38 %), a Dormia basket with a stone in the distal part of the common bile duct wedged when trying to extract it. Only one of 11 patients was operated on as planned; in the remaining 10, the problem was resolved with repeated TEI. Conclusions. Punctual technical implementation of all stages of manipulation, selective cannulation of the bile ducts, careful x-ray control of the position and advancement of the instrument in the ducts helps to reduce the number of complications after TEI.
