Prior percutaneous cholecystostomy is associated with reduced operative difficulty in patients with acute cholecystitis.
Patients who underwent prior cholecystostomy had significantly shorter operative times and fewer severe adhesions.
Recovery was faster with prior cholecystostomy, indicated by an earlier oral intake and shorter hospital stays.
Although complication rates were lower in the prior cholecystostomy group, they were not statistically significant.
