Health | Indications are limited to poor risk or debilitated patients with an obstructed gallbladder, in whom open operation or laparoscopic interventions are considered high risk. Occasionally cholecystostomy is the appropriate operative procedure, if open cholecystectomy becomes unsafe. (references) | |
Treatment options in such patients include oral bile acid therapy, mechanical obliteration or dissolution of stones by percutaneously or endoscopically positioned catheters or extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, and techniques that facilitate stone egress, such as endoscopic sphincterotomy or percutaneously/endoscopically placed biliary stents and cholecystostomy.
