CHOLECYSTITIS THE IMPORTANCE OF USING MODERN DIAGNOSTIC METHODS IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE DISEASE

Abstract

Cholecystitis is an inflammatory process of the gallbladder, often caused by intestinal microflora damage to the organ due to stagnation of bile in the bile ducts. Cholecystitis usually occurs as a complication of gallstone disease. The gallbladder is an organ located next to the liver and plays a major role in the digestive process. Normally, bile is poured into the duodenum, in some cases, as a result of some pathology, the evacuation of bile is disturbed and it stagnates in the gallbladder. In this case, the risk of inflammation as a result of pain and infection increases. Usually, cholecystitis occurs together with cholangitis, which means that bile ducts are also inflamed. Cholecystitis is a common surgical disease, affecting more women than men, especially middle-aged and older people.
