PERCUTANEOUS GALLBLADDER DRAINAGE IN PATIENTS WITH HIGH SURGICAL RISK ACUTE CHOLECYSTITIS: A SINGLE-CENTER EXPERIENCE
Öz
OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effectiveness of percutaneous gallbladder drainage (PGD) in a group of patients with acute cholecystitis (AC) who were at high surgical risk.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: The electronic records of a total of 51 patients who underwent percutaneous gallbladder drainage under imaging guidance between January 2021 and September 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
RESULTS: The PGD procedure was successfully performed in all 51 patients. After the procedure, symptoms of AC regressed in 43 patients (84.3%). There were no reports of mortality or major complications associated with the PGD procedure. The average duration of catheterization post-PGD was 23.6 days (range 3-47 days), and the average hospital stay was 22 days. Seven patients (13.7%), mostly monitored due to pre-procedural sepsis, were lost within 30 days without catheter removal. Cholecystectomy was performed on 27 patients (52.9%) in the 6-8 weeks following PGD, after minimizing surgical risks.
CONCLUSIONS: Under imaging guidance, PGD is a safe procedure with low complication rates in patients at high surgical risk and is an effective method for resolving the inflammatory process associated with AC.
