Las enfermedades m¨¢s frecuentes fueron las colecistitis y colecistosis, en pacientes del sexo femenino, y un n¨²mero importante de operados superaba los 60 a os. Las complicaciones m¨¢s com¨²nmente halladas en el per¨ªodo preoperatorio fueron: la litiasis coledociana y la pancreatitis aguda; en el peroperatorio: sobre la ves¨ªcula, la v¨ªa biliar y el h¨ªgado y en el posoperatorio inmediato las inespec¨ªficas, que prevalecieron sobre las espec¨ªficas. La mortalidad se consider¨® dentro de l¨ªmites aceptables, y como causa fundamental de muerte en los ancianos se destaca el s¨ªndrome de disfunci¨®n m¨²ltiple de ¨®rganos A descriptive and prospective study on morbidity and mortality of bening diseases of the biliary tract was performed on 4 266 patients operated on at "Saturnino Lora" Provincial Teaching hospital, Santiago de Cuba with the aim of assessing the incidence of different variables. The most frequent diseases were found to be cholecystitis and cholecystosis in female patients, and a great number of surgically treated patients were over 60 years of age. The most frequently complications found within the preoperative period were: cholelithiasis and acute pancreatitis; during the perioperative period the most common were the complications of the gall bladder, the bile duct, and the liver, and during the immediate portoperative period the most frequent complications were found to be nonspecific which prevailed over the specific ones. Mortality rate was considered to be within acceptable limits, and the syndrome of multiple organ failure was found to be the principal cause of death among aged patients %K ENFERMEDADES DE LAS VIAS BILIARES %K ENFERMEDADES DE LAS VIAS BILIARES %K ENFERMEDADES DE LAS V¨ªAS BILIARES %K COMPLICACIONES POSOPERATORIAS %K COMPLICACIONES INTRAOPERATORIAS %K BILIARY TRACT DISEASES %K BILIARY TRACT DISEASES %K BILIARY TRACT DISEASES %K POSTOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS %K INTRAOPERATIVE COMPLICATIONS %U http://scielo.sld.cu/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-74931997000100006
