[Gallbladder decompression in acute cholecystitis (author's transl)].
Decompression of the acute inflamed gallbladder via laparoscopy and inserting a small catheter not only allow to reduce the pressure on the wall but to instill antibiotic solutions into the gallbladder as well. In this way the inflammatory process will fade away and the operation (cholecystectomy) can be performed with much lesser risk. In old aged people the authors recommend so called "minioperations" like laproscopic cholecystotomy and -cholecystostomy.
