Percutaneous cholecystostomy is an interventional
radiological procedure that entails the insertion of a catheter into the
gallbladder lumen for bile drainage. This procedure can be executed via either
a transhepatic or transperitoneal approach. It is indicated for patients with
severe acute calculus cholecystitis, serving to stabilise them prior to a
subsequent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Percutaneous cholecystostomy is
considered a safe procedure, with the most prevalent complications being
bleeding, perforation, and bile leakage. This chapter examined the role of
percutaneous cholecystostomy in the management of acute calculus cholecystitis.
Percutaneous cholecystostomy was compared with laparoscopic cholecystectomy as
a definitive treatment for acute calculus cholecystitis, and the duration and
timing of percutaneous cholecystostomy removal were explored. The study
concluded that percutaneous cholecystostomy is a valuable, minimally invasive
interim procedure for patients with severe acute calculus cholecystitis who are
deemed unsuitable for surgical intervention.
