A new technique of laparoscopic cholecystostomy is based on a puncture of a polychlorvinyl catheter with trocar and a pneumatic cuff on the catheter end into the gall bladder under laparoscopic control. The technique was used in 13 patients. This technique of laparoscopic cholecystostomy is simple and safe, gives a reliable decompression of bile ducts and has no anesthesiological and surgical risk.
