Abstract No. 12 Systematic Review Analyzing Percutaneous Cholangioscopy and Lithotripsy for Inoperable Calculus Cholecystitis
There is limited available literature on percutaneous gallstone extraction for large stones using lithotripsy in patients with inoperable calculus cholecystitis. The purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive review of the efficacy and safety profiles for the commonly utilized types of lithotripsy including electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ShockPulse lithotripsy (SPL), and laser lithotripsy (LL).

Percutaneous cholecystostomy in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
AbstractPercutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is often preferred over early cholecystectomy (EC) for elderly patients presenting with acute cholecystitis (AC). However, there is a lack of solid data on this issue. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched the Medline and Web of Science databases for reports published before December 2022. Studies that assessed elderly patients (aged 65  years and older) with AC treated using PC, in comparison with those treated with EC, were included. Outcomes analyzed were perioperative outcomes and readmissions. The literature search yielded 3279 records, from which 7 papers (1208 patien...
