Summary

Percutaneous cholecystostomy is an expanding technique since the use of ultrasonography permits a precise puncture of the gall bladder. Cholecystitis is a classical complication of endoscopic maneuvers in the biliary tract or can be associated with obstructive jaundice. Following their results the authors conclude on the usefulness of percutaneous cholecystostomy as a complementary procedure to non-operative management of biliary diseases.
