It is performed by the interventional radiologist and can be performed through the transhepatic or transperitoneal route (direct gallbladder puncture, without passing through the liver). Percutaneous cholecystostomy is used as a bridging procedure to stabilize high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis. We prepared this narrative review article to describe the indications for performing this procedure and the consequences of its performance and to compare it with emergency cholecystectomyEnglishAcute cholecystitis, Cholecystectomy, Conservative treatment of acute cholecystitis, Non-operative treatment of acutecholecystitis, Percutaneous cholecystostomyhttps://www.yemenjmed.com/admin/abstract?id=92References16191.
