Percutaneous cholecystostomy reports a low mortality rate of 8.82% among patients with acute cholecystitis.
Of the 34 patients studied, 53% proceeded to have cholecystectomy post-discharge, indicating favorable long-term outcomes.
Data was collected retrospectively from patients admitted for acute cholecystitis undergoing cholecystostomy between August 2021 and August 2024.
This alternative management approach may support patients unfit for emergency cholecystectomy due to co-morbidities.
