    Summary

    Transcutaneous transhepatic microcholecystostomy is effective for acute cholecystitis, offering a safe alternative to cholecystostomy, especially for high-risk elderly patients needing bile duct decompression.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Minimally Invasive Procedures

    Background:

    • Acute cholecystitis management often involves surgical intervention.
    • High-risk elderly patients present challenges for traditional cholecystectomy.
    • Obstructive jaundice necessitates bile duct decompression.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the efficacy of transcutaneous transhepatic microcholecystostomy (TTM) guided by laparoscopy versus ultrasound.
    • To evaluate TTM as a treatment for acute cholecystitis.
    • To assess TTM's utility in high-risk patients and for obstructive jaundice.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective comparison of TTM guided by laparoscopy (75 patients) and ultrasound (67 patients).
    • Focus on treatment efficacy in acute cholecystitis.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, procedural outcomes, and complications.

    Main Results:

    • TTM demonstrated treatment efficacy in acute cholecystitis.
    • Complications occurred in 2.8% of patients, managed with urgent surgery.
    • The procedure is short, simple, and well-tolerated, even in critically ill patients.

    Conclusions:

    • TTM is a viable alternative to cholecystostomy.
    • The technique is suitable for high-risk elderly patients.
    • TTM provides effective bile duct decompression for obstructive jaundice.
