Abstract
The modern views on the surgical treatment of the acute calculous cholecystitis in elderly and senile patients are studied in the literature review. It has been shown that cholecystectomy is currently the onlydefinitive method of acute calculous cholecystitis treatment; it is characterized by lower frequency of biliary complications in the distant postoperative period, shorter total duration of hospital treatment andlower total cost of treatment in comparison with other treatment strategies. In acute cholecystitis urgentlaparoscopic cholecystectomy is applicable to elderly and senile patients and elderly age must not be acontraindication for this intervention.
