Burtseva M., Yashnov A., Konovalova O., Hanina Y.

The prevalence of gallstone disease in recent years has acquired a steady upward trend. Unfortunately, this pathology currently remains only for the surgeon's doctor, although given the multifactorial nature of the disease an interdisciplinary approach to solving the problem is necessary. This article reflects the main risk factors for the development of cholelithiasis and provides recommendations for an integrated approach to patients at risk for the early prevention of this pathology. The emphasis is placed on non-invasive, non-drug methods of treatment, such as diet therapy and physiotherapy exercises. Patients who underwent surgery for cholelithiasis and its complications must be promptly referred for spa treatment in order to increase the adaptive properties of the body.
