Gall-bladder conservation therapy advances with percutaneous cholecystolithotomy. This technique offers a minimally invasive option for symptomatic gallstones, with successful outcomes in reported cases.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Gallbladder Disease Management

Background:

  • Gallbladder conservation therapy is evolving.
  • Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and medical dissolution therapy have limitations.
  • Search for alternative percutaneous stone extraction techniques is ongoing.

Observation:

  • Four patients with symptomatic gallstones were treated.
  • Percutaneous cholecystolithotomy was performed under laparoscopic guidance.
  • Gallbladder puncture, tract dilation, and nephroscope introduction were key steps.

Findings:

  • Three patients required ultrasonic lithotripsy for stone fragmentation.
  • All four patients experienced uneventful postoperative recovery.
