The authors report on the diagnosis, therapeutic tactics, the results of morphological studies, and the late-term results of surgery for developmental anomalies of the gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis with organic disorders of bile drainage in 53 children aged from 5 to 15 years. The findings of morphological studies showed that among the causes of impaired bile drainage developmental anomalies of the gallbladder were encountered much more frequently than chronic cholecystitis.

Clinical, radiological, and morphological comparisons showed these indications to be well-founded. The immediate and late-term results of surgical management of developmental anomalies of the gallbladder and chronic cholecystitis with organic disorders of bile drainage confirm the expediency of active surgical tactics in the presence of the proper indications.
