title: [Microcholecystostomy].
abstract: Treatment efficacy was compared for transcutaneous transhepatic microcholecystostomy controlled by laparoscopy (75 patients) against that controlled by ultrasound scanning (67 patients) principally in acute cholecystitis. Basic indications for microcholecystostomy are a high operative risk in elderly patients and decompression of the bile ducts for obstructive jaundice. Four patients (2.8%) developed postmicrocholecystostomy complications treated by urgent surgery. The manipulation is short-term, simple and is well tolerated even in grave condition. This makes microcholecystostomy an alternative to cholecystostomy.
