Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • Gallbladder stones (cholelithiasis) are a common condition requiring treatment.
  • Surgical and non-surgical options for gallstone management have varying efficacy and invasiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of rapid percutaneous litholysis for gallbladder stones.
  • To assess the dissolution rates, symptom relief, and hospitalization duration associated with this procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Percutaneous litholysis was performed on 26 patients diagnosed with gallbladder stones.
  • The procedure involved targeted dissolution of gallstones through a minimally invasive percutaneous approach.

Main Results:

  • Complete dissolution of gallbladder stones was achieved in 17 out of 26 patients.
  • Seven patients experienced complete symptom relief following the procedure.
  • The average hospitalization period was 3 days, with 8 patients requiring only 1 day of hospitalization.

Conclusions:

  • Rapid percutaneous litholysis demonstrates high efficacy in dissolving gallbladder stones.
  • The procedure offers a minimally invasive option associated with rapid symptom resolution and short hospital stays.
