Abstract: Objective To study the use of ultrasound-guided percutaneous transhepatic cholecystostomy (PTGD) followed by selective minilaparotomy cholecystectomy (MC) for acute obstructive cholecystitis in the high-risk elderly.Method A retrospective study was conducted on 120 patients who received ultrasound-guided PTGD followed by selective MC from January 2008 to December 2010.Results PTGD+ MC were performed successfully on 120 patients with acute severe obstructive chole cystitis.In all the patients,the abdominal pain was relieved within 2-3 h of operation,and the temperature decreased to normal from 24- 48 h after operation.The average time of drainage was 10 days.In 97 patients MC was performed 1 week after PTGD,and in 23 patients 2 weeks after PTGD.Bleeding from gallbladder bed occurred in 1 patient.No patient suffered from bile leak.There was no major complication or death after PTGD+ MC.Conclusion PTGD followed by selective MC is a simple,efficacious and minimally invasive treatment for high-risk elderly patients with acute obstructive cholecystitis.
