Researcher from Tokyo Medical University Provides Details of New Studies and Findings in the Area of Acute Cholecystitis (Severe acute cholecystitis successfully treated with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage tube insertion: A case report).

A recent study conducted by researchers at Tokyo Medical University focused on the treatment of acute cholecystitis, a condition characterized by inflammation of the gallbladder. The study presented a case of a woman in her 40s who developed bile peritonitis due to gallbladder perforation associated with acute cholecystitis. The patient underwent various procedures, including a partial cholecystectomy and drainage, and ultimately had an endoscopic nasobiliary drainage tube inserted, which led to a decrease in inflammation and improved enzyme levels. The researchers emphasized the importance of anticipating and managing potential complications in patients with severe acute cholecystitis. [Extracted from the article]
