V I Lupaltsev, and I A Dekhtiaruk, and Iu N Kutafin, and B E Gladkikh

The experience with surgical treatment of 136 elderly and senile patients with acute cholecystitis has been summarized. In presence of pronounced concomitant pathology and reduced adaptation-compensatory resources of an organism, the authors consider microcholecystostomy to be a method of choice. The use of this method permits to improve the results of surgical treatment and decrease the postoperative lethality.
