Gall-bladder conservation therapy has been evolving during the past decade. Popular techniques of conservative therapy are extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and medical dissolution therapy. The limitations of these procedures have prompted a search for alternative techniques, particularly in relation to percutaneous stone extraction. The cases of four patients with symptomatic gallstones who underwent percutaneous cholecystolithotomy under laparoscopic guidance are reported. The gall-bladder was punctured with a long needle and the tract dilated so that a nephroscope could be introduced. Three cases required stone fragmentation by an ultrasonic lithotripter before removal. Postoperative recovery was uneventful in all cases.
