| Core Tip |
Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) has traditionally been the primary treatment for surgically unfit patients with acute cholecystitis; however, endoscopic gallbladder drainage techniques, such as endoscopic transpapillary drainage and endoscopic ultrasound-guided drainage, are emerging as effective alternatives with fewer reinterventions and enhanced patient comfort. While endoscopic procedures are preferred over PC whenever possible, PC with standardized protocols is still beneficial, especially due to wider availability, bedside feasibility and as it can be performed under local anaesthesia without the requirement of sedation or general anaesthesia. A multidisciplinary and standardized approach is crucial for optimizing the outcomes. |
