Summary

In order to compare percutaneous cholecystostomy and leaving a drain in situ with percutaneous gallbladder aspiration we plan to undertake a double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Conditions

  • Cholecystitis, Acute

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Gallbladder aspiration

Percutaneous ultrasound-guided aspiration of bile from the gallbladder. This is performed without leaving a drain in the gallbladder. The aspiration is performed with the intention to relief the pressure in the gallbladder, without drain.

PROCEDURE

Cholecystostomy

Ultrasound-guided insertion of drain in the gallbladder. The drain is left in the gallbladder until clinical assessment and laboratory analyses show that the acute cholecystitis has been successfully treated.
