Efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided bedside percutaneous cholecystostomy using the transhepatic approach and trocar technique in patients with acute cholecystitis

Despite the growing adoption of PC in the management of AC, the definitive optimal access route and procedural technique remain unresolved. The current body of literature is limited by considerable heterogeneity across studies, including variability in technical approach, operator experience, patient coagulation profiles, and outcome definitions. This study exclusively employed bedside US-guided PC using the TH approach and trocar technique, and observed no procedure-related complications, including hemorrhage, bile leakage, infection, or abscess formation.
