Abstract
Introduction. Acute cholecystitis (AC) as a common surgical condition is usually treated with an early cholecystectomy in addition with antibiotic therapy. However, open or laparoscopic cholecystectomy in critically ill patients or those with multiple comorbidities can lead to significantly higher mortality rates. Percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy (PTC) is a preferable treatment option for patients with AC who are considered to be unfit for surgery. Aim To evaluate and analyse clinical outcomes of patients with AC, who underwent PC. Methods. Data of 49 patients who underwent PTC between 2012 and 2017 at Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kaunas Clinics was reviewed retrospectively. Collected data included patient demographics, indications for PC, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grading, duration of symptoms, results of laboratory and radiological tests. Clinical outcomes included the duration of hospitalisation, complications, patient mortality and scheduled cholecystectomy. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS v23 software. [...].
