Retrospective analysis shows increased laparoscopic cholecystectomy rates in acute cholecystitis, indicating efficacy after percutaneous drainage.

Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy showed safety and feasibility in patients with acute cholecystitis post-PTGBD, enhancing surgical outcomes.
The rate of laparoscopic cholecystectomy rose significantly from 52.9% to 88.9% after implementing a support protocol (p = 0.001).
Patients undergoing laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy experienced no major complications or mortality, supporting its viability as a treatment option.
No significant differences were noted in operation length or bleeding, confirming the technique's safety in challenging cases.

E et al. (2025) studied this question.
