Article Synopsis
  • Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is effective for controlling sepsis in patients with severe acute calculous cholecystitis, but long-term treatment outcomes remain uncertain.
  • A study analyzed 102 patients who underwent PC, comparing those who had laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) later with those who received conservative management, showing no significant difference in readmission rates for biliary issues.
  • Results indicated that interval LC led to significantly lower rates of late mortality (13.3% vs. 61.9%) and higher survival rates after three years (75% for LC vs. 38% for conservative management).
