PREVENTION OF POSTOPERATIVE LIVER FAILURE IN HIGH-RISK PATIENTS WITH ACUTE DESTRUCTIVE CHOLECYSTITIS

Abstract

Elderly patients with acute destructive cholecystitis and severe comorbidity often have limited hepatic reserves, and radical surgery in this group carries a high risk of postoperative liver failure, which aggravates the postoperative course and increases mortality. A dedicated method for preventing postoperative liver failure in high-risk patients has not been sufficiently developed.
