Abstract Two patients are described in whom large gallstones, up to 4 cm in diameter, were removed percutaneously. The technique has some relevance to high risk patients with surgical cholecystotomies in whom elective cholecystectomy may be deferred if all the calculi can be removed. It may also be relevant if “percutaneous cholecystectomy” is ever developed clinically.
