Summary

Percutaneous transhepatic cholecystoscopic lithotomy (PTCCSL) successfully removed gallstones in all patients. This less invasive procedure is ideal for high-risk individuals, though gallstone recurrence was observed in 18.9%.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Endoscopic Interventions

Context:

  • Cholelithiasis (gallstones) poses a significant clinical challenge.
  • Traditional treatments like cholecystectomy carry risks, especially for high-risk patients.
  • Percutaneous transhepatic cholecystoscopic lithotomy (PTCCSL) offers a less invasive alternative.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PTCCSL for treating cholecystolithiasis.
  • To assess the recurrence rate and long-term outcomes of PTCCSL.
  • To determine the suitability of PTCCSL for patients unable to undergo general anesthesia.

Summary:

  • PTCCSL was performed in 37 cholelithiasis cases, achieving complete stone removal without serious complications.

  • The average procedure involved 2.1 sessions over 11.8 days.
  • Follow-up (average 24.7 months) showed restored gallbladder function but an 18.9% gallstone recurrence rate.

    • Impact:

    • PTCCSL demonstrates a favorable safety profile and efficacy in stone removal.
    • The procedure is a viable, less invasive option for high-risk surgical candidates.
    • Gallstone recurrence necessitates further consideration for patient selection and follow-up strategies.
