Abstract
We carried out ultrasound guided direct-puncture bile aspiration (DPBA) in 58 patients with acute cholecystitis. Symptoms and laboratory findings of acute cholecystitis were rapidly improved after DPBA. NO serious complications were seen during and after the DPBA procedure. It was concluded that DPBA is practical and safe treatment of acute cholecystitis. Furthermore long follow up study revealed that this therapeutic method would be useful and reliable for elder patients and patients with systemic complication.Entities:
