ObjectiveTo explore the curative effect and the appropriate time of sequentially with minimal invasive methods in treatment of elderly acute calculous cholecystitis patients combined with organ dysfunction syndrome (ODS). MethodsClinical data of 67 elderly acute calculous cholecystitis patients combined with ODS who received treatment in our hospital from December 2010 to December 2013 were collected retrospectively. All of the 67 patients were treated with percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) under the guidance of B ultrasound or CT at first, as well as systemic anti infective therapy, and then underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) sequentially when situation of body got well. ResultsAll of the 67 patients (100%) were treated with PTGBD successfully, but only 65 patients finished the latter related test. For the 65 patients, compared with before PTGBD, the patient's pain, abdominal distention, vomiting, leukocyte count, neutrophil ratio, glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, total bilirubin, C-reactive protein, and temperature had gotten obviously better on 1 and 4 d after PTGBD (P<0.05). There were 3 patients dropped LC, 2 patients transferred to mini-incision cholecystectomy, and the rest of 60 patients underwent LC successfully. All of the patients recovery and discharged from hospital in 2-7 days after operation. ConclusionSequentially mini-invasive method is a simple, easy, safe, effective, mini trauma, and quick recovery method for the elderly acute cholecystitis patients combined with the ODS.
