“…In the domestic literature, it is inaccurate for many authors to define gallbladder contraction (>30%) and gallbladder wall thickness (<6 mm) as the criteria of "good function" [48] rather it should belong to the category of "poor gallbladder function. " It is not rigorous and correct to incorporate the chronic cholecystitis gallstones with poor gallbladder function into the indication category of "gallstone preservation and extraction" [49].…”

Research on gallbladder diseases, whether in basic pathogenesis or clinical treatment, has been continuing and developing. Currently, gallbladderpreserving lithotripsy has attracted considerable attention in the treatment of cholecystolithiasis in China. In recent years, Endoscopic Minimally Invasive Gallbladder-Preserving Surgery (CGPS) has become more and more mature. However, the recurrence rate of gallstones after CGPS has been an urgent question that requires careful investigation. This article reviews the progress in postoperative recurrence of gallbladder diseases treated with gall bladder preservation surgery.

“…7 In addition, there are several relatively novel percutaneous interventional approaches that have been investigated over the recent years. In the event that percutaneous procedures are contraindicated, advanced endoscopic methods may be considered such as transpapillary and transmural gallbladder drainage, 7 or extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, 8,9 which are beyond the scope of this discussion. The purpose of this article is to describe percutaneous interventional techniques for managing cholelithiasis and cholecystitis.…”

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the standard treatment option for symptomatic cholelithiasis and acute cholecystitis. However, in non-surgical candidates or patients meeting criteria of severe presentation, percutaneous cholecystostomy is the recommended approach to management, generally with the intent of eventual cholecystectomy. Should interval cholecystectomy not be an option, additional novel percutaneous techniques for stone extraction and/or gallbladder ablation have shown success in the recent literature and, along with cholecystostomy, are presented in this review.

A 2012 review of therapeutic ultrasound was published to educate researchers and physicians on potential applications and concerns for unintended bioeffects (doi: 10.7863/jum.2012.31.4.623). This review serves as an update to the parent article, highlighting advances in therapeutic ultrasound over the past 12 years. In addition to general mechanisms for bioeffects produced by therapeutic ultrasound, current applications, and the pre‐clinical and clinical stages are outlined. An overview is provided for image guidance methods to monitor and assess treatment progress. Finally, other topics relevant for the translation of therapeutic ultrasound are discussed, including computational modeling, tissue‐mimicking phantoms, and quality assurance protocols.

Lessons learnt from a case of extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy for a residual gallbladder stone

Abstract: HighlightsECSWL failed to treat a residual gallbladder stone after failed cholecystectomy.Even if a stone is fractured, it may not be expelled by a diseased gallbladder.ECSWL should be followed by endoscopic retrieval to complete treatment.
