    Percutaneous cholecystolithotomy offers a definitive treatment for acute cholecystitis by removing gallstones. This minimally invasive gallbladder stone removal is a viable option for select patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Acute cholecystitis is commonly treated with cholecystectomy.
    • Gallstones are a primary cause of acute cholecystitis.

    Observation:

    • Three patients with acute cholecystitis underwent percutaneous removal of gallstones.
    • This procedure was employed as the definitive form of therapy.

    Findings:

    • Percutaneous cholecystolithotomy successfully removed gallstones in all three patients.
    • The technique served as a definitive treatment for acute cholecystitis.

    Implications:

    • Percutaneous cholecystolithotomy presents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery for acute cholecystitis.
    • This approach may be suitable for carefully selected patients with gallbladder calculi, potentially reducing morbidity.
