Abstract
Ultrasonically-guided percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder puncture (UG-PTGBP) was carried out in patients with acute cholecystitis in whom antibiotics and anergesic treatment was not effective.
Using this procedure, pain, fever, and other symptoms had remarkably improved in all patients. No serious complication had been encounterd.
Ultrasonicaly-guided percutanoeus transhep a tic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) was performe in patients with acute obstruction of the common bile duct. In those patients, intrahepatic bile ducts were not dilated. And PTCD was difficult to performe. The procedure was effective in reducing jaundice and infactious bile drainage.
