| Core Tip |
Early percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) improves short-term survival in high-risk patients with acute cholecystitis; however, survival alone may not capture the full spectrum of post-procedural outcomes. This commentary highlights the disconnection between early life-saving interventions and unresolved downstream endpoints, including prolonged catheter dependence and low definitive cholecystectomy rates. By emphasizing the importance of timing alongside a structured post-PC reassessment, we argue that standardized patient-centered management pathways are essential for translating early survival benefits into durable clinical outcomes. |
