title: [Preliminary results of three different cannulations for percutaneous transhepatic cholecystic drainage in the interventional gallstone dissolutions].
abstract: Three different methods of percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder cathetering drainage were applied in 33 patients undergoing interventional gallstone dissolution. Among them, sheathed needle was used in 6 cases with a success rate of 33%; wire-guided in 16 with a success rate of 50%; and double-sheathed inner needle was successfully used in all the 11 cases. The authors believe that this last method could safely be used in the nonoperative drainage of acute cholecystitis as well as the interventional gallstone dissolutions.
