Disease relevance of Cholecystostomy

• Monooctanoin dissolution of gallstones via a cholecystostomy tube [1].
• HYPOTHESIS: Tube cholecystostomy followed by interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a sale and efficacious treatment option in critically ill patients with acute cholecystitis [2].
• Six similar cases of SLE complicated with acute acalculous cholecystitis have been reported in the literature and they were all treated surgically by cholecystectomy or cholecystostomy [3].

High impact information on Cholecystostomy

• Effect of octreotide on gastrostomy, duodenostomy, and cholecystostomy effluents: a physiologic study of fluid and electrolyte balance [4].
• Remarkable dose-dependent increases were found in cholesterol and bilirubin concentrations in the cholecystostomy effluent [4].
• RESULTS: Prompt clinical response was observed in 13 (87%) of the patients after tube cholecystostomy [2].
• We report a case of gallbladder perforation secondary to percutaneous liver biopsy diagnosed by dimethyl iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan and managed successfully by percutaneous drainage and cholecystostomy [5].
• Gallstone dissolution with methyl-tert-butyl ether via percutaneous cholecystostomy: success and caveats [6].

Associations of Cholecystostomy with chemical compounds

• METHODS: Effluents of gastrostomy, duodenostomy, and cholecystostomy were collected in three separate shifts over 24-h periods beginning 3 days before octreotide therapy and continuing for 15 treatment days [4].
• Cholecystostomy and i.v. ceftriaxone proved efficacious and the girl was discharged in less than two weeks [7].
• Tube cholecystostomy was constructed in 8 mongrel dogs and 5-10 ml of 0.7-1.0 mg/ml solution of N-ethyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (ENNG) was administered through the tube every day for the maximum period of 180 days [8].
• Long-term total parenteral nutrition and cholecystostomy tube in a rabbit model surgical procedure: management and preliminary results [9].
• Chemical ablation of the gallbladder with absolute ethanol and polidocanol 3% was attempted in 23 and 10 pigs, respectively, after open transhepatic cholecystostomy [10].
