Percutaneous Cholecystostomy in Critically Ill Patients with a Cholecystitis: A Safe Option

Abstract: Background: Cholecystectomy is the standard procedure in patients with acute cholecystitis. However, some patients might not be able to undergo immediate surgery because of severe sepsis or underlying comorbid conditions. Percutaneous cholecystostomy is a minimally invasive radiological procedure under local anesthesia which seems to be an effective alternative to conservative treatment or immediate laparoscopic/open cholecystectomy. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 35 patients who underwent percutaneous c… Show more

“…Thus, the true rate of recurrent symptoms may have even been higher if less severe symptoms not requiring hospitalization had been captured as well. While some authors have suggested that subsequent elective cholecystectomy may not be required due to low rates of recurrence [5,6,10,23,26], this study lends support to the practice of routine interval cholecystectomy as suggested by others [3,17,27]. These patients represent a high-risk population because of advanced age and/or significant medical comorbidities, and further episodes of biliary sepsis can also carry similarly high mortality rates [17].…”

“…[13] USG kılavuzluğunda PK, deneyimli ellerde, kolay ve hızlı uygulanabilen bir yöntem olup, literatürde yüksek teknik başarı (%94-100) ve düşük morbidite (%0-18) ve mortalite (%0-3) oranları bildirilmektedir. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][16][17][18][19][20] Akut kolesistit tedavisinde PK, safra kesesinin dekompresyonunu sağlayarak akut enflamasyonun hızla gerilemesini, hastanın klinik durumu düzelene kadar cerrahinin ertelenmesini ve morbidite-mortalite oranlarının elektif cerrahi seviyesine inmesini sağlar. [5,7] Akut kolesistit seyrinde geç cerrahi müdahale yapılan olgularda, safra kesesi perforasyonu riskinin ve laparoskopik cerrahiden açığa geçme riskinin de erken dönemde PK uygulanması ile düşürüldüğü bildirilmiştir.…”
