Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endourology

Background:

  • Gall stones are a common condition requiring intervention.
  • Existing treatments for gall stones have limitations.
  • Percutaneous nephrolithotomy techniques offer potential for gall stone management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of percutaneous gall stone removal.
  • To identify potential complications associated with the procedure.
  • To assess the adaptability of percutaneous nephrolithotomy instruments for gall stone extraction.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study of 60 consecutive patients with symptomatic gall stones.
  • Percutaneous removal of gall stones was performed.
  • Techniques adapted from percutaneous nephrolithotomy were utilized.

Main Results:

  • Successful percutaneous removal was achieved in 56 patients.
  • Four patients required conversion to cholecystectomy.
  • Postoperative complications occurred in seven patients, with two recurrences of biliary calculi.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous gall stone removal is a feasible procedure.
  • The technique can be adapted from percutaneous nephrolithotomy.
  • This method is suitable for a broader patient population compared to other gall bladder-sparing techniques.
