Although current guidelines recommend cholecystectomy for gallbladder polyps\u2005\u2265\u200510\u2009mm in size, the probability of finding cancer in postoperative pathological specimens is low. We should avoid unnecessary cholecystectomy and treat polyps with gallbladder preservation. Microwave ablation is safe and effective for the treatment of solid lesions, and can inactivates polyps while preserving gallbladder. Hence, we report a case of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation of gallbladder polyps.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Patient concerns:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>A 72-year-old female patient had previously diagnosed a gallbladder polyp, but it was not taken seriously. Recently, the patient had occasional right upper abdominal discomfort and a desire to preserve gallbladder.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Diagnoses:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Ultrasound showed a medium hyperechoic papillary protrusion in the gallbladder without echo behind, and the changed position did not move. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) showed no malignant signs. The diagnosis was a gallbladder polyp.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Interventions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The bile is drained and the drainage tube is fixed under real-time ultrasound guidance, then the gallbladder cavity is flushed and filled. Saline was injected between the serous and mucosal layers of the gallbladder to form an \u201cedema band\u201d to protect the gallbladder wall. Then, ultrasound-guided biopsy of gallbladder polyps was performed and sent for histological examination. Finally, the microwave needle was inserted into the target area under real-time ultrasonic guidance, and ablation was performed for 3 minutes (20 W). Postoperative CEUS: No significant enhancement was observed in the lesion.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Outcomes:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Within 6 months of follow-up, the patient\u2019s gallbladder systolic function was normal, and there was no discomfort and no recurrence.
