Abstract
Diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of patients with cholelithiasis (GSD) remain one of the urgent problems of surgery. Among the various diseases of the biliary system, cholelithiasis occupies 50-65%. According to most researchers, almost every fifth woman and every tenth man suffers from gallstone disease. The surgical method of treatment, being pathogenetically substantiated, retains its leading position. The operation to remove the gallbladder - cholecystectomy - is currently considered as the operation of choice for inflammatory and other diseases of the gallbladder.
