  • The benefit of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) over cholecystectomy (CC) in the management of critically ill patients with acute cholecystitis could not be proven in this systematic review. (aerzteblatt.de)
  • The aim of this systematic review therefore was to investigate the clinical benefit of PC in the management of critically ill patients with acute cholecystitis by comparing the outcomes of critically ill patients managed with PC to those of similar patients managed with cholecystectomy (CC). The null hypothesis assumed there is no difference amongst both interventions with regard to outcomes. (aerzteblatt.de)

  • Furthermore, biliary pain may be associated with functional disorders of the biliary tract, so-called acalculous biliary pain (pain without stones), and can even be found in patients post-cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), possibly as a consequence of dysfunction of the biliary tree and the sphincter of Oddi .
