  • Percutaneous Cholecystostomy treatment of acute cholecystitis in pregnancy.
    Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1995
    Co-Authors: Nikki Allmendinger, Michael J. Hallisey, Stephen K. Ohki, J. John Straub
    Abstract:

    Background Medical treatment of acute cholecystitis in pregnancy may lead to prolonged management and recurrent hospitalizations, whereas surgical management predisposes the mother and fetus to the inherent risks of surgery and general anesthesia. Although percutaneous Cholecystostomy has been proven to be an efficacious treatment in critically ill and general surgery patients who are at high risk for surgery, this technique has not been used routinely as a treatment for acute cholecystitis in pregnancy. Cases We report two women (at 30 and 32 weeks' gestation, respectively) who presented with acute calculus cholecystitis. The first patient was a 33-year-old female who failed endoscopie retrograde cholangiopancreatography and papillotomy and had multiple return visits for nausea and vomiting. The second patient was a 23-year-old female with three previous admissions for cholecystitis during the pregnancy. These two patients underwent emergency ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic Cholecystostomy. Percutaneous Cholecystostomy provided adequate biliary decompression for the remainder of the pregnancy; the patients delivered healthy infants and underwent successful uncomplicated elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 3 months of delivery. Conclusion Percutaneous Cholecystostomy may provide a safe and effective alternative for the palliation of acute cholecystitis in pregnancy until a postpartum cholecystectomy can be performed.

  • ultrasound guided percutaneous Cholecystostomy in high risk patients for surgical intervention

    Co-Authors: Huseyin Bakkaloglu, Hakan Yanar, Recep Guloglu, Korhan Taviloglu, Fatih Tunca, Murat Aksoy, Cemalettin Ertekin, Arzu Poyanli
    Abstract:

    AIM: To assess the efficacy and safety of ultrasound guided percutaneous Cholecystostomy (PC) in the treatment of acute cholecystitis in a well-defined high risk patients under general anesthesia. METHODS: The data of 27 consecutive patients who underwent percutaneous transhepatic Cholecystostomy for the management of acute cholecystitis from January 1999 to June 2003 was retrospectively evaluated. All of the patients had both clinical and sonographic signs of acute cholecystitis and had comorbid diseases. RESULTS: Ultrasound revealed gallbladder stones in 25 patients and acalculous cholecystitis in two patients. Cholecystostomy catheters were removed 14-32 d (mean 23 d) after the procedure in cases where complete regression of all symptoms was achieved. There were statistically signifi cant reductions in leukocytosis, (13.7 × 10 3 ± 1.3 × 10 3
