title: [Endoscopic removal of the gallbladder mucosa after cholecystostomy].
abstract: The authors have developed a new method of radical treatment of patients with acute obstructive cholecystitis after cholecystostomy. The endoscopic removal of the mucosa was proposed using hysteroresectoscope GYI-525-12 (Circon-ACM1). The method was used in 5 elderly patients with high anesthesia risk in whom surgical cholecystectomy was not possible. The removal of the mucosa resulted in the replacement of the gallbladder with the connective tissue giving the effect of radical operation.
