Figure 3 Chemical ablation therapy. A: Before chemical ablation of the gallbladder, the gallbladder volume was measured by infusing contrast medium through the drain tube; the contrast medium did not pass into the CBD; B: Three weeks later (after a total of three chemical ablation sessions), cholecystography showed a marked collapse in the lumen of the gallbladder.
