Percutaneous cholecystolithotripsy (PTCL) effectively treated gall bladder stones in 90% of high-risk patients. This minimally invasive option offers a viable alternative when other surgical methods are unsuitable.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Radiology

Context:

  • Gall bladder stones (cholelithiasis) pose significant health risks.
  • High-risk patients often have contraindications for standard cholecystectomy.
  • Acute cholecystitis is a common complication.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous cholecystolithotripsy (PTCL) for gall bladder stone removal.
  • To assess PTCL as a treatment option for high-risk patients.

Summary:

  • Thirty-two high-risk patients with gall bladder symptoms underwent PTCL.
  • Successful stone fragmentation and removal occurred in 90% of cases.
  • Cholecystectomy was required in three patients due to complications (perforation, steinstrasse).

Impact:

  • PTCL is a realistic therapeutic option for high-risk patients with gall bladder stones.
  • It provides an alternative when laparoscopic or mini-cholecystectomy are not suitable.
  • The procedure demonstrated a low complication rate and manageable drainage time.
