What is Cholecystostomy vs Conservative Care in Acute Cholecystitis about?
This study compares the effectiveness of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) and conservative treatment (CO) in 123 high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis. While PC was successful in 95.2% of cases, it did not significantly reduce mortality compared to CO, where 87% of patients fully recovered. The findings suggest that PC may be beneficial for patients not improving after three days of conservative treatment or for critically ill patients.
