Materials and methods. The study involved 52 patients with cholelithiasis and changes in the lipid spectrum who underwent elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patients were divided into 2 groups of 26 people, the first group received treatment with ursodeoxycholic acid after surgical treatment, the second group received only non-drug recommendations. All patients before the operation and 3 months after it underwent a biochemical blood test, lipidogram, ultrasound of the abdominal cavity, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, gastroenterological complaints, quality of life were evaluated. Results. In patients taking ursodeoxycholic acid, the severity of gastroenterological complaints after cholecystectomy was less pronounced, blood lipid profile indicators improved. Conclusion.
