Abstract
A new method of nonsurgical removal of gallbladder stones is presented herein. The method consists of two parts: a, ultrasonically guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage, and b, extraction of gallbladder stones using a choledochofiberscopic maneuver. The procedure is safe, less stressful than a surgical procedure and easy to perform. The method is useful for extremely ill or elderly patients and those who prefer not to undergo surgical treatment.Entities:
