Background:

Acute cholecystitis and common bile duct obstruction are significant clinical challenges.
Percutaneous cholecystostomy offers a minimally invasive approach for gallbladder drainage.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous cholecystostomy.
To review technical and clinical aspects of the procedure.

Main Methods:

Percutaneous cholecystostomy was performed in 13 patients.
Patients presented with suspected acute cholecystitis or common bile duct obstruction.
Two puncture approaches were utilized: anterior abdominal wall and right anterior axillary line.

Main Results:

One patient experienced peritonitis and fatal septic shock post-catheter removal.
No other patients developed sepsis or peritonitis.
Two patients underwent successful long-term external drainage as outpatients.

Conclusions:

Percutaneous cholecystostomy is generally a safe and effective procedure.
Careful catheter management is crucial to prevent complications.
The technique is well-tolerated for prolonged external drainage.
