[Complicated noncalculous cholecystitis].

Results of the observation of 160 operated patients with acalculous cholecystitis complicated by biliary hypertension resulting from choledocholithiasis, stenosis of the great duodenal papilla, indurative and acute pancreatitis or purulent cholangitis in 52,5% are described. The authors believe that the surgical intervention should include, in addition to cholecystectomy, choledochotomy followed by correction of the alterations revealed.
