How Effective Is Gallbladder Drainage In Treating Infection?

How effective is a gallbladder drainage tube a second time, first one was 3 yrs ago, he s been septic 3 x in the last 1 yr, probably not a candidate for removal, if he doesn t do it he will die, but if he does and it doesn t work he s prolonging for only 2 months and it may not work.
