    Cholecystostomy in patients without prior gallbladder issues typically preserves gallbladder function. Most patients regain normal gallbladder function, with minimal risk of late complications after the first year.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Cholecystostomy is a procedure for acute gallbladder issues.
    • Its long-term impact on gallbladder function in patients without prior disease is not well-documented.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of the gallbladder after cholecystostomy in patients without a history of gallbladder disease.

    Main Methods:

    • Eight patients without prior gallbladder disease underwent cholecystostomy for acute pancreatitis or blunt abdominal trauma.
    • Gallbladder function was assessed via cholecystography, ultrasonography, and cholecystokinin stimulation in a subset of patients after a mean follow-up of 3.9 years.

    Main Results:

    • Cholecystostomy was performed in eight patients for acute pancreatitis or trauma.

  • Follow-up imaging showed good gallbladder visualization without gallstones.
  • Gallbladder contraction varied, potentially due to adhesions; however, most patients maintained normal function.

    • Conclusions:

    • Cholecystostomy in a previously normal gallbladder generally results in normal function.
    • The risk of late complications is minimal if no gallbladder disease is evident within one year post-procedure.
