ABSTRACT
A frequent combination of cholecystitis and reflux-esophagitis is noted (from 20% to 60%). Pathogenetical mutual interdependence of these diseases was found. At the same time, reflux-esophagitis is not diagnosed and not corrected by surgical treatment of cholecystitis. The frequency of reflux-esophagitis not corrected during cholecystectomy is increased in the structure of "postcholecystectomy syndrome". The article gives an analysis of operative treatment of 438 patients with cholecystitis. In 265 of them only cholecystectomy was performed, in 173--cholecystectomy and fundoplication after Nissen. A comparison of immediate and remote results of the both groups has shown that most favorable results were obtained after simultaneous operations which results in reduced frequency of "postcholecystectomy syndrome" by 30%.
