Abstract

Choledochollithiasis is a stone disease of the bile ducts of the liver, which continues with a chronic course of the process. 10% of the world's population is infected with this disease. This disease occurs in the ratio of 1:8 between men and women, and in terms of gender, women are more common. In choledocholithiasis, the main affected organs are the liver, gall bladder and pancreas. Choledynamic disorders in the biliary tract occur as a result of acute or chronic obturation of the ducts draining from the pancreas to the duodenum, resulting in the accumulation of proteolytic enzymes in the pancreatic ducts and in the pancreatic duct. As a result, depending on the dynamics of the process in the pancreas, it is manifested by the development of pancreatitis in the form of acute or chronic inflammation.
