A scheme of combined treatment was used in 72 patients with a complicated form of cholelithiasis. It included retrograde pancreatocholangiography followed by endoscopic papillosphincterotomy, intraoperative cholangiography and drainage of the common bile duct after Pikovsky. There was not a single case of transition to traditional cholecystectomy. Four complications in the postoperative period were obviated during relaparoscopy.
