[Percutaneous cholecystostomy and laser lithotripsy].
A case of acute cholecystitis in a high risk patient was treated in the acute phase with cholecystostomy guided by ultrasound and with introduction of a pig-tail catheter for drainage. Later, percutaneous laser lithotripsy was undertaken via a flexible choledochoscope. The recent percutaneous therapeutic principles and the possibilities in biliary calculous disease are reviewed.
