Abstract: Gallstone disease occurs in 10-15% of the adult population, and purulent complications of inflammatory diseases of the biliary tract occur in 46% of cases; despite the close attention of researchers to this problem, it remains highly relevant. The inflammatory process in this localization is characterized not only by a local purulent-destructive process, but also by systemic disorders that contribute to the rapid development of severe endogenous intoxication and pronounced organ dysfunction. Thanks to the introduction into clinical practice of new modern diagnostic methods (ultrasound, CT, MRI, ERCP) and of minimally invasive treatment methods, it has been possible to significantly improve the results of the treatment of gallstone disease and its complications, such as acute destructive cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis and purulent cholangitis.
