Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Acute cholecystitis poses significant risks, especially in high-risk patients.
  • Transhepatic percutaneous cholecystostomy offers a minimally invasive approach for gallbladder drainage.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transhepatic percutaneous cholecystostomy in managing severe acute cholecystitis.

Main Methods:

  • Twelve high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis underwent ultrasound-guided transhepatic percutaneous cholecystostomy.
  • The study included patients with both acute acalculous and calculous cholecystitis.

Main Results:

  • A mean decrease in body temperature of 0.7°C was observed in 11 patients.
  • Pain and abdominal defense improved in 5 out of 9 patients.
