[Trans-duodenal interventions in acute cholecystitis].

110 transduodenal interventions were performed on patients with acute cholecystitis complicated by choledocholithiasis and stenosis of the major duodenal papilla in 1981-85. Mechanical jaundice was diagnosed in 51 of them. Most of the patients were operated upon in the "cold" period. Papillosphincteroplasty was performed on 73 patients, papillosphincterotomy--on 17, transduodenal ++supra-papillary choledochoduodenoanastomosis--on 20 patients. A special probe was used during operation for the detection and dissection of the major duodenal papilla. Lethality after operation was 2.7%.
