ABSTRACT
Results of examinations and treatment of 200 patients with acute calculous cholecystitis were analyzed. It is demonstrated that risk of purulent-destructive forms depends on nature of pathologic process in the gall bladder. Among patients with obstructive calculous cholecystitis 79.7% underwent surgery due to purulent-destructive forms of the disease, with non-obstructive calculous cholecystitis -- 38.9%. Risk of intraabdominal complications depends on the fact of obstruction of gallbladder neck and extrahepatic bile ducts. Algorithm of a rapid diagnosis was diagnosed. It permits to diagnose purulent-necrotic forms of acute calculous cholecystitis in 63.5% patients during 2 hours and in 85.7% patients during 6 hours from the time of hospitalization that ensures timely surgery.
