The authors consider the urgent surgery for acute cholecystitis complicated with pancreatitis and with marked bile and pancreatic hypertension to be indicated. In their opinion, the best method of eliminating the cause of duct hypertension in the bile and pancreatic duct system is the transduodenal dissection of the papilla followed with papillocholedochoplasty combined in some patients with plasty of the Wirsung's duct. A separate drainage of the common bile duct and main pancreatic duct according to the Doubilet's method was used. Cholecystectomy was carried out upon all the patients. On patient died of progressive pancreonecrosis.
