Can Percutaneous Cholecystostomy be a Definitive Management for Acute Acalculous Cholecystitis?

Abstract

Percutaneous cholecystostomy is an effective procedure and a good alternative for patients unfit to undergo immediate surgery because of severe sepsis or an underlying comorbidity. After patients with AAC have recovered from percutaneous cholecystostomy, further treatment such as cholecystectomy might not be needed.
