Purpose: Treatment of acute cholecystitis with gallbladder perforation remains controversial. We aimed to determine the feasibility of percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) in these patients.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who had acute cholecystitis with gallbladder perforation at a single institution. Group 1 (n = 27; M:F = 18:9; mean age, 69.9 years) consisted of patients who received PC followed by cholecystectomy, and group 2 (n = 16; M:F = 8:8; mean age 57.1 years) consisted of patients who were treated with cholecystectomy only. Preoperative details, including sex, age, underlying medical history, signs of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), laboratory findings, body mass index, presence of gallstone, and type of perforation; treatment-related variables, including laparoscopic or open cholecystectomy, conversion to laparotomy, blood loss, surgical time and anesthesia time; and outcome, including postoperative complications and hospital stay were analyzed.
Results: There was no significant difference in preoperative details, treatment-related variables, postoperative complications, and postoperative hospital stay. However, preoperative hospital stay (median, 14 days vs. 8 days; p < 0.05) and total hospital stay (median, 22 days vs. 14.5 days; p < 0.05) were significantly longer in group 1 than in group 2.
Conclusion: The preferred treatment of acute cholecystitis with gallbladder perforation might be cholecystectomy without preoperative PC; however, preoperative PC can be a safe, optional treatment in elderly patients with signs of SIRS.
