Video Tip: Transcystic Gallbladder Stenting

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript describes the process of stenting the gallbladder in two different cases. In the first case, an 80-year-old woman with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and liver and lung metastases requires a permanent metallic stent in the common bile duct and a double pigtail stent in the gallbladder to prevent recurrent acute cholecystitis. In the second case, a 68-year-old patient with emphysematous cholecystitis cannot undergo surgery, so stents are placed in the gallbladder. The video demonstrates the insertion of the stents using various techniques and tools. The importance of placing multiple gallbladder stents side by side is also highlighted. Overall, the video shows the successful placement of stents to alleviate gallbladder-related issues.
