[Direct cholecystography after laparoscopic cholecystostomy in acute cholecystitis]

Direct cholegraphy was performed after laparoscopic cholecystostomy in 82 patients. It should be conducted on the operating table if proper fixation of the draining tube is doubtful, but, mainly, on the fourth or fifth postoperative day. Double contrasting of the biliary tract with air and a contrast medium produces the best result.
