small patient population. In critically ill patients, cholecystostomy tubes should remain in place until the patient is  suitable to undergo cholecystectomy. Removal of the cholecystostomy tube without subsequent cholecystectomy is associated with a high incidence of recurrent cholecystitis and devastating consequences.
