Summary

Percutaneous cholecystostomy offers a less invasive approach for acute cholecystitis in high-risk patients. This gallbladder drainage procedure allowed conservative management or facilitated subsequent elective surgery in most cases.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Acute cholecystitis poses significant risks, especially in high-risk surgical candidates.
  • Percutaneous cholecystostomy provides a minimally invasive alternative for managing acute cholecystitis.
  • Evaluating long-term outcomes of percutaneous cholecystostomy is crucial for treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the experience and outcomes of percutaneous cholecystostomies in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis.
  • To assess the efficacy of percutaneous cholecystostomy in avoiding or deferring surgery.
  • To analyze the success rates and complications associated with the procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 88 percutaneous cholecystostomies performed on 72 high-risk patients over 11 years.
  • Inclusion of patients with acute cholecystitis who were poor surgical candidates.
  • Description of gallbladder lavage with cooled saline in patients with long-term drainage.

Main Results:

  • Successful conservative management or avoidance of surgery in 24 patients.
  • Facilitation of elective cholecystectomy in 37 patients due to improved condition.
  • Temporary relief followed by urgent surgery in 4 cases; 7 patient deaths during the acute phase.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous cholecystostomy is an effective treatment for acute cholecystitis in high-risk individuals.
  • The procedure can lead to total recovery, enable elective surgery, or serve as a temporizing measure.
  • Gallbladder lavage may be a beneficial adjunct in long-term drainage management.
