Article Synopsis
- Cholecystectomy (CCY) is the preferred treatment for acute cholecystitis (AC), with alternative nonsurgical options being EUS-guided and PT-guided gallbladder drainage.
- A study compared outcomes of patients undergoing CCY after EUS-GBD vs PT-GBD, looking at demographics, procedure outcomes, and surgical details across 139 patients.
- Results indicated that EUS-GBD led to faster surgical times, quicker symptom resolution, and shorter hospital stays than PT-GBD, while both methods had similar rates of converting to open surgery.
- EUS-GBD is a viable option for gallbladder drainage and does not hinder follow-up CCY.
