The article deals with the diagnosis and results of surgical treatment of 203 patients with chronic hepatitis. It is shown that complex pre- and intraoperative examination of the organs of the hepatobiliary area is necessary in order to detect the disease and choose the adequate surgical tactics. Intraoperative biopsy of the liver with emergency histologic study of the collected material is said to play the determinant role in the diagnosis of chronic hepatitis. To achieve the best hemodynamic effect of the operation, the authors believe it expedient to conduct arteriolysis and desympathization of the hepatic arteries at the whole length of the common and proper hepatic arteries. The immediate and late results of surgical treatment of chronic hepatitis were favourable. The immediate outcomes were good and satisfactory in 92.3% of cases, the late results, in 89% of cases.

Double internal drainage of ductus choledochus was performed in 122 patients by a combination of transduodenal papillosphincterotomy and supraduodenal choledochoduodenostomy which makes up 10.3% of all the operations on extrahepatic biliary ducts. The results of double internal drainage of ductus choledochus in benign lesions were favourable: postoperative lethality was in 2,5%, good remote results were noted in 83,2%, satisfactory--in 13,3%, unsatisfactory--in 3,5% of cases.
