I P Savinov, and L N Danilov

Calculous cholecystitis in patients is associated with considerable disturbances of the duodenal peristalsis, a hyper- and akinetic type of disorders in the motoricity being observed. Due to the results obtained in all patients with calculous cholecystitis an examination of the duodenal peristalsis should be recommended during the period of diagnostic studies.
