Abstract

The aim is to describe modern approaches used in the diagnostics of cholelithiasis in pregnant women.

Results. Cholelithiasis diagnostics in pregnant women is a rather difficult task, frequently taking a long time and significantly worsening the prognosis for both the mother and the fetus. Abdominal ultrasound is the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of cholelithiasis in pregnant women, allowing the diagnosis to be clarified and the treatment tactics to be adjusted. The possibilities of such modern methods as endoscopic ultrasound diagnostics, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, and laparoscopic ultrasonography used in difficult diagnostic cases are presented.

Conclusion. The use of a maximal range of diagnostic studies in pregnant women makes it possible to establish the diagnosis as soon as possible and to reduce the frequency of surgical and related perinatal complications. As a result, the prolongation of pregnancy and a decrease in maternal and intrauterine mortality can be achieved.
