Abstract
Background We aimed to investigate the extent to which ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is used as a bridging or definitive therapy for grade II and III acute cholecystitis and whether this treatment causes significant changes in C-reactive protein (CRP) and direct bilirubin (DB) levels in the first 72 h and the first three weeks. Methods We included 145 consecutive patients who underwent PC over 17 years. No patient had cirrhosis. PC was performed in the interventional radiology department under US guidance. Results US-guided PC was the definitive treatment for more than half of the patients (51.7%) and decreased DB levels significantly more than CRP levels. Conclusion No statistically significant correlation between those whose CRP and DB levels normalized within three weeks and those who did not and required a second invasive procedure. Nevertheless, the bridging treatment group was significantly older than the definitive treatment group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To analyze the indications, technical features and results of percutaneous cholecystostomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective single-center study of the results of percutaneous cholecystostomy over 13-year period was carried out. The indications for surgery, technical features and outcomes were studied. RESULTS The indications for percutaneous cholecystostomy were acute cholecystitis in 40 (63.5%) cases and obstructive jaundice in 23 (36.5%) cases. In acute cholecystitis, cholecystectomy was denied due to severe acute and decompensated chronic diseases. In case of obstructive jaundice, cholecystostomy was preferred if other methods of biliary decompression were impossible. Drainage with locking thread was used in 44 (69.8%) patients. A total of 13 (21.3%) cases of drainage migration were noted. Incidence of migration of catheters with locking threads was 13.6%, without locking threads - 41.2% (p=0.033). Subsequent cholecystectomy was performed in 10 (15.9%) patients. In case of obstructive jaundice, cholecystostomy did not lead to destructive cholecystitis in any case. Six patients with acute cholecystitis had progressive gallbladder destruction. Overall postoperative in-hospital mortality was 36.5% (n=23). Mortality in the group of acute cholecystitis was 32.5% (n=13), in the group of obstructive jaundice - 43.5% (n=10). Mortality was higher in acute cholecystitis Grade III (75.0%) compared to Grade II (21.9%; p=0.008). CONCLUSION Cholecystostomy is a rare (reserve) intervention. Locking thread significantly reduces the incidence of migration of cholecystostomy catheter. Progressive gallbladder destruction required cholecystectomy in 15% of cases. Treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis depends on physical status and comorbidities.

Abstract
AbstractPercutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is a minimally invasive procedure for decompressing gall bladder (GB) or biliary system in emergency settings, performed in patients with GB or biliary diseases who are at high risk for surgical exploration. Indications range from acute cholecystitis in seriously ill patients to overdistended GB with impending perforation to overt GB perforation. This procedure, by allowing biliary drainage, helps in controlling the infection and optimizing the patient's condition for definitive treatment in the form of elective surgery if possible, thus acting as a bridge to a definitive treatment option. In some cases, such as acute acalculous cholecystitis, it may obviate the need for surgery, and in malignant biliary obstruction, it may be used as a palliative measure to keep GB decompressed. This review article focuses on and revisits many aspects of PC including technical aspects, clinical indications, outcomes, and safety of the procedure, in addition to its role as bridge therapy versus definitive therapy versus palliative option. It includes observations based on the author's own work experience and review of the literature.

Abstract
One of the most important reasons for avoiding percutaneous transhepatic gall bladder drainage (PTGBD) is the deterioration of quality of life (QOL). However, there is no study comparing the QOL between primary laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and LC following PTGBD.Among the LC patients, 69 non-PTGBD patients and 21 PTGBD patients were included after excluding the patients with malignant disease or who needed additional common bile duct procedures. Clinicopathologic characteristics and surgical outcomes were compared. QOL was evaluated with questionnaire EORCT-C30 before and after surgery.The included patients comprised 69 non-PTGBD and 21 PTGBD patients. The PTGBD group include older and higher morbid patients. PTGBD group needed longer operation times than the non-PTGBD group (72.4±34.7 minute vs 52.8±22.0 minute, P = .022) Regarding the overall incidence of complication, the PTGBD group had a significantly higher complication rate than the non-PTGBD group (38.1% vs 10.1%, P = .003) However, there was no significant difference in severe complication). Regarding the QOL, both the functional and global health scales were improved following surgery compared to the preoperative evaluation. Comparative analysis of the 2 groups showed no significant difference in global heath scale either preoperative or postoperatively, while the functional scale and emotional scale were better in the PTGBD group compared to the non-PTGBD group. Regarding the symptom scale, postoperative dyspnea and perioperative diarrhea were better in the PTGBD group.LC following an interval from earlier PTGBD that targets acute cholecystitis or complicated GB had little to no impact on QOL when compared to standard LC.

Abstract
Percutaneous biliary interventions are among the commonly performed nonvascular radiological interventions. Most common of these interventions is the percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage for malignant biliary obstruction. Other biliary procedures performed include percutaneous cholecystostomy, biliary stenting, drainage for bile leaks, and various procedures like balloon dilatation, stenting, and large-bore catheter drainage for bilioenteric or post-transplant anastomotic strictures. Although these procedures are being performed for ages, no standard guidelines have been formulated. This article attempts at preparing guidelines for performing various percutaneous image-guided biliary procedures along with discussion on the published evidence in this field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous cholecystostomy is performed by interventional radiologists for patients with calculous/acalculous cholecystitis who are poor candidates for cholecystectomy. Two anatomical approaches are widely utilized: transperitoneal and transhepatic. PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcomes of transperitoneal and transhepatic approaches to cholecystostomy catheter placement. MATERIAL AND METHODS From December 2007 to August 2015, 165 consecutive patients (97 men, 68 women) underwent either transperitoneal (n = 89) or transhepatic (n = 76) cholecystostomy at a single center. Indications were calculous cholecystitis (n = 21), acalculous cholecystitis (n = 35), hydrops (n = 1), gangrenous cholecystitis (n = 1), and other cholecystitis (n = 107). The most common high-risk co-morbidities were sepsis (n = 53) and cardiac (n = 11). Outcomes were compared using univariate and multivariable analysis. RESULTS Post-procedure outcomes included tube dislodgement (transperitoneal [n = 6] and transhepatic [n = 3], P = 0.44), bile leak (transperitoneal [n = 5], transhepatic [n = 1], P = 0.14), gallbladder hemorrhage (transperitoneal [n = 2]; transhepatic [n = 3], P = 0.52), duodenal fistula (transperitoneal [n = 0], transhepatic [n = 1], P = 0.27), repeat cholecystostomy (transperitoneal [n = 1], transhepatic [n = 3], P = 0.27), and repeat cholecystitis requiring separate admission (transperitoneal [n = 6], transhepatic [n = 10], P = 0.15). All complications were Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade <3. Twenty transperitoneal patients underwent post-procedure cholecystectomy: 13 laparoscopic, three open, and four unclear/outside records. The mean time from cholecystostomy to operation was 38 days (range 3-211 days). Twenty-three transhepatic patients underwent cholecystectomy: 14 laparoscopic, eight open, and one unclear/outside records, with the mean time from cholecystostomy being 98 days (range 0-1053 days). One transhepatic and three transperitoneal patients died during admission. CONCLUSION There were no significant differences in short-term complications after transperitoneal and transhepatic approaches to percutaneous cholecystostomy catheter placement.

Obes Surg 2021; 31:4993-5004.

Abstract
Choledocholithiasis in post-surgical bariatric Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients presents a significant challenge secondary to altered anatomy. We aim to review the existing management options including either endoscopic, surgical, percutaneous or hybrid means. Current literature suggests reasonably successful cannulation rates for single- or double-balloon ERCP ranging from 50 to 70% and 63-83%, respectively. The hybrid technique of laparoscopic transgastric ERCP has gained popularity with success rates ranging from 90 to 100%. Conventional laparoscopic techniques like transcystic duct and transcholedochal bile duct exploration are still useful options (i.e. high success rates of 81-100% and 83-96%, respectively). The role of percutaneous transhepatic choledochography remains limited although it can help with rapid bile duct decompression. If feasible, treatment pathways should progress from least to more invasive options as required.

Abstract
PURPOSE Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an important modality for acute cholecystitis and has been applied for other clinical scenarios as well. In the present study, we aimed to investigate an alternative use of PC for obstructive jaundice. METHODS From January 2012 to December 2018, eligible subjects were selected from patients undergoing PC in our institute. The characteristics, spectrum of underlying disease, indication for PC performance, details of the procedure, and treatment effect were all investigated. RESULTS During the study period, 1364 patients underwent PC. Seventy patients fulfilled the defined inclusion criteria. While 47 patients were diagnosed with malignant biliary obstruction with or without cholangitis, 23 patients were diagnosed with nonmalignant biliary obstruction and acute cholangitis. There were 63 patients (90%) diagnosed with acute cholangitis. Pancreatic cancer (n = 24, 51%) and advanced malignancy (n = 28, 59%) were noted mostly in the group with malignant biliary obstruction. Treatment effects were proven by laboratory data, including the white blood cell count, C-reactive protein level, and hepatic function. CONCLUSION PC can temporize definitive therapies and serve as an alternative treatment for patients with nonmalignant conditions. For patients with advanced malignancy, PC can serve as a palliative procedure that has a high success rate and low complication rate and effectively relieves biliary obstruction.

Abstract
To explore the protective and therapeutic measures of improving perioperative safety in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases, so as to improve the therapeutic efficacy of surgery. A retrospective case–control study of 412 elderly patients with biliary diseases was carried out from July 2013 to July 2019. Seventy eight cases were divided into the high age (HA) group (≥80 years) and 334 into the middle–low age (MLA) group (60–79 years). In the HA compared with MLA group, 1. Preoperative coexisting diseases: the occurrence of coexisting coronary heart disease (CHD), hypertension, chronic bronchitis with emphysema, hypoproteinemia, and anemia were significantly increased; 2. Laboratory examinations: function of liver, kidneys, heart, lungs, and blood coagulation significantly declined; 3. Surgical procedures: open cholecystectomy with transcystic common bile duct (CBD) exploration significantly higher, while laparoscopic cholecystectomy significantly lower; 4. Operative effects: intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative hospital stay, and length of hospitalization significantly increased or prolonged; 5. Postoperative complications: postoperative respiratory failure, pulmonary infection, anemia and electrolyte disorder significantly increased; 6. Therapeutic outcomes: no significant difference in the therapeutic effects. Although the surgical risk was significantly increased, there was no significant difference in the therapeutic efficacy in the HA compared with MLA group, suggesting that surgical treatment in extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases is safe and feasible. The key is to actively treat preoperative coexisting diseases, strictly adhere to surgical indications, reasonably select surgical procedures, precisely perform the operation, closely monitor and control intraoperative emergencies, timely prevent and treat postoperative complications, so as to improve the perioperative safety of extremely elderly patients with biliary diseases.

Abstract
While urgent percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) was introduced as an alternative to acute surgical treatment for acute cholecystitis (AC), the current place of PC in the treatment algorithm for AC is challenged. We evaluate demographics and outcomes of PC in routine clinical practice in a population-based cohort.Retrospective evaluation of consecutive patients treated with PC for AC between 2000 and 2015. The severity of cholecystitis was graded according to the 2013 Tokyo Guidelines.One hundred forty-nine patients were included (82; 55% males) (median age of 72.5 years; range, 21-92). The Tokyo Guidelines criteria of 2013 (TG13) severity grade distribution was 4%, 61.7%, and 34.2% for grades I, II, and III, respectively. No difference was observed between males and females with regard to age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, comorbidities, or previous history of cholecystitis. PC was successfully performed in all but 1 patient, and complications were few and minor. Less than half (48.3%) of all patients subsequently received definitive surgical treatment, mostly (83.3%) laparoscopy. No or minor complications were encountered in 58 (80.6%) patients. Operated patients were significantly younger (P = <.001) and had lower ASA scores (P = .005), less comorbidities (P < .001), and had more seldomly a severe grade 3 cholecystitis (P < .001) than non-operated patients.PC is useful in selected patients with AC. However, since only a half of the patients eventually received definitive surgical treatment, a better routine decision-making based on proper criteria may enable an improved allocation of the individual patient for tailored treatment according to the disease severity, the patient's comorbidity burden, and also to the treatment options available at the institution to prevent overutilization of a non-definitive treatment approach. Comprehension of this responsibility should be acknowledged by hospitals with an emergency surgical service, although the clinical decision-making remains a challenge of the responsible surgeon on call.

Abstract
Acute cholecystitis is one of the most frequent diseases faced by the general surgeon. In recent decades, different prognostic factors have been observed, and effective treatments described, to improve the results in patients with said pathology (lower morbidity and mortality, shorter hospital stay, and minimum conversion of laparoscopic to open procedures). In general, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for acute cholecystitis, but it is not exempt from complications, especially in patients with numerous comorbidities or those that are critically ill. Percutaneous cholecystostomy emerged as a less invasive alternative for the treatment of acute cholecystitis in patients with organ failure or a prohibitive surgical risk. Even though it is an effective procedure, its usefulness and precise indications are subjects of debate. In addition, there is little evidence on cholecystostomy catheter management. We carried out a review of the literature covering the main aspects physicians involved in the management of acute cholecystitis should be familiar with.

Percutaneous cholecystostomy in the management of acute cholecystitis - 10 years of experience. Wideochir Inne Tech Maloinwazyjne 2019; 14:516-525. [PMID: 31908697 PMCID: PMC6939213 DOI: 10.5114/wiitm.2019.84704] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/09/2019] [Accepted: 03/16/2019] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction The preferred treatment for acute cholecystitis is cholecystectomy, but for patients with precluded general anesthesia due to critical illness or multiple medical comorbidities it is not suitable. Cholecystostomy could be a minimally invasive therapeutic alternative. Aim To retrospectively evaluate the indications, technical features, efficacy, complications, patients’ development and relationships among monitored parameters of percutaneous computed tomography (CT)-guided cholecystostomies in cases of acute cholecystitis and find the role of this procedure in appropriate treatment selection. Material and methods Over the course of 10 years, 75 percutaneous cholecystostomy procedures in 69 patients were performed in cases with diagnosed acute cholecystitis, precluded general anesthesia and contraindicated cholecystectomy by an experienced surgeon and anesthesiologist. These interventions were done using only local anesthesia. The patients were men in 39 cases and women in 33 cases, aged 33 to 91 years. Results Technical success was achieved in all cases. The indications were sepsis in 34 (45.3%) cases, bridging acute gallbladder inflammatory status in 15 (20%) interventions, serious medical comorbidities in 8 (10.7%) cases, disseminated malignancy and cardiac failure in 6 cases each (both 8%) and neurological affections in 5 (6.5%) cases. Cholecystostomy was frequently the final solution in acalculous cholecystitis (79.3%). The 30-day mortality rate was determined at 10.7% and the overall complication rate was 21.3%, but all of these complications were managed conservatively or using minimally invasive treatment. Conclusions Percutaneous CT-guided cholecystostomy is reserved for patients with a serious medical status for various reasons that preclude surgical treatment and general anesthesia. Simultaneously, technical success and efficacy are high and the complication rate is acceptable.
