What postoperative management to offer after gallbladder drainage for acute calculous cholecystitis?
Patients requiring gallbladder drainage for acute calculous cholecystitis often have numerous comorbidities. Less than half will have access to a secondary cholecystectomy which will be risky. We have proposed an algorithm for gallbladder drain management, taking into account the possibility of performing a secondary cholecystectomy or not, which will need to be validated in future studies.
