Indications and clinical outcomes of percutaneous cholecystostomies in acute cholecystitis: a study from Qatar
In high-risk patients or when surgical risk is prohibitive, PC is a viable and effective alternative for AC management. Post-PC cholecystectomy was associated with favorable outcomes, suggesting PC as a bridge to surgery in selected patients. This study highlights the role of PC in a high-risk population within our regional setting.
