BACKGROUND Acute cholecystitis is a pathology of inflammatory origin, usually associated with cholelithiasis, with a high incidence in the world. Its treatment involves an important socioeconomic impact. There are two surgical therapeutic options: early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) done within 72 hours of onset of pain or delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) done after 6 weeks of conservative treatment. The present study intends to compare between the effectiveness of ELC vs DLC in the management of acute cholecystitis in a tertiary care setup. METHODS The study sample included 65 patients who were clearly documented and radiologically proven cases of acute calculous cholecystitis, met the inclusion criteria, admitted to the surgery department of MKCG MCH, Berhampur, between August 2018 and July 2020. Out of 65 patients, 33 and 32 patients were selected randomly for ELC and DLC respectively. In ELC group surgery was done within 72 hours of the onset of pain while in DLC group surgery was done after 6 weeks of initial conservative treatment. The study was conducted using a case record proforma, prepared in their local language. The questionnaire included timing of cholecystectomy, duration of antibiotic coverage, mean duration of hospital stay, number of intraoperative and postoperative complications, conversion to open cholecystectomy, and follow-up. The data was compiled and tabulated in MS ® Excel and statistically analysed using IBM ® SPSS 22.0. RESULTS The overall morbidity and mortality were less in ELC compared to DLC. The mean duration of surgery was less in ELC (47.36 minutes) compared to DLC (65.75 minutes). The mean duration of antibiotic coverage was lesser in ELC (3.58 days) compared to DLC (5.50 days).The mean hospital stay was less in ELC (4.67 days) to DLC (6.50 days). The overall morbidity and mortality were less in ELC. CONCLUSIONS ELC is considered to be a safe modality of treatment in patients with acute cholecystitis and leads to an economical treatment.

Complication Of Surgery

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the procedures through which gall bladder can be removed. Acute cholecystitis was considered a contraindication for laparoscopic procedure but with time and experience this shortcoming is now overcome. Here is a study of 32 patients who were selected for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Among them, 29 patients were operated by laparoscopic method and rest three patients were converted. This study showed the appropriate time for surgery, technical difficulties and the complication of surgery. It may be concluded that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible and beneficial to the patient with acute cholecystitis in its early phase, if necessary support and expertise is available.

Gallstones are now among the most important disease in the era of surgery. Definitive treatment of gall stone disease remains cholecystectomy. One of the common causes of emergency surgical referral is acute cholecystitis of which 50-70% cases are seen in the elderly patients.50 patients were treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy from October 2013 to October 2015. The patient’s age was from 20 to 65 years old with a mean age of 34 ±3 years old. The patients received in the emergency unit and their attack not more than 72 hrs of acute gall stone inflammation were included in this study.From the 50 patients,15 were males (34%) and females were 35 (74%) so the ratio of 1:2of male to female. Problems and complications that facing in this study at time of laparoscopy were mainly adhesions to the adjacent structures like stomach, colon, and omentum. Adhesion into CBD also considered.Early intervention for acute cholecystitis of calculus type by laparoscopy now regarding safe and gold standard approach that should be kept in mind when dealing with such cases.

A Prospective Study

Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a potentially life-threatening condition. LC was initially considered to be a relative contraindication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), but with increase in general expertise, early LC was recommended in selected patients1. Aprospective study of LC in grade 1 and 2 AC patients with mild to moderate inflammatory changes in the gallbladder and no significant organ dysfunction, was performed during October 2016 to July 2019. A total of 78 patients, out of 408 cholecystectomies performed during this period, were included in this study. Criteria for diagnosing AC was, recent onset of pain in right hypochondrium, fever, leucocytosis, pericholecystic fluid collections, subserosal oedema on ultrasound, pyocele and other pathological evidence of AC. Patients presented and operated within 4 days of onset of symptoms showed better results as compared to those who could be operated after 4 days and within 14 days. Five patients required conversion to open cholecystectomy because of complex adhesions in 2, critical view of safety was unachievable in 2 and in 1 for troublesome bleeding.

Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment for acute cholecystitis, many Caribbean surgeons are reluctant to operate during the acute attack. We collected data for all consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis from January 1 to 31 December 2018. Delayed cholecystectomy was done >6 weeks after acute cholecystitis settled. We compared data between early and delayed groups. Delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed in 54 patients, and 42 had early laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Delayed surgery resulted in significantly more complications requiring readmission (39% vs 0), longer operations (2.27 vs 0.94 h) and lengthier post-operative hospitalisation (1.84 vs 1.1 days). Caribbean hospitals should abandon the practice of delayed surgery after cholecystitis has settled. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy would be financially advantageous for our institutions, and it would save patients recurrent attacks of gallstone disease.

Previous studies have shown that signal intensity variations in the gallbladder wall on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are associated with necrosis and fibrosis in the gallbladder of acute cholecystitis (AC). However, the association between MRI findings and operative outcomes remains unclear. We retrospectively identified 321 patients who underwent preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) and early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for AC. Based on the gallbladder wall signal intensity on MRI, these patients were divided into high signal intensity (HSI), intermediate signal intensity (ISI), and low signal intensity (LSI) groups. Comparisons of bailout procedure rates (open conversion and laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy) and operating times were performed. The recorded bailout procedure rates were 6.8% (7/103 cases), 26.7% (31/116 cases), and 40.2% (41/102 cases), and the median operating times were 95, 110, and 138 minutes in the HSI, ISI, and LSI groups, respectively (both p < 0.001). During the multivariate analysis, the LSI of the gallbladder wall was an independent predictor of both the bailout procedure (odds ratio [OR] 5.30; 95% CI 2.11–13.30; p < 0.001) and prolonged surgery (≥144 min) (OR 6.10, 95% CI 2.74–13.60, p < 0.001). Preoperative MRCP/MRI assessment could be a novel method for predicting surgical difficulty during LC for AC.

Abstract Background The definitive management of acute cholecystitis is laparoscopic cholecystectomy on the same admission if the patient is fit. As the Covid-19 pandemic emerged, evidence suggested adverse outcomes for asymptomatic Covid positive patients undergoing surgery, including increased mortality risk. Risks to theatre staff were also highlighted. This prompted changes in acute cholecystitis management guidelines. Method The audit aim was to assess the impact of guideline change on clinical outcomes and readmission rate for acute cholecystitis. The revised Association of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland (AUGIS) guidelines were the gold standard. All inpatient admissions for acute cholecystitis during the 4-week peak of the pandemic (17/04/2020 – 14/05/2020) were included. Result 24 patients were admitted with acute cholecystitis. 10 patients (41.7%) were managed with antibiotics alone, 4 patients (16.6%) underwent cholecystostomy. 12 patients (50%) were discharged within 3 days. Lack of clinical progress/ongoing symptoms was the indication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 5 cases (20.8%). 5 conservatively managed patients (20.8%) were readmitted with ongoing cholecystitis or pancreatitis. Conclusions 19 patients (80%) were managed non-surgically in accordance with AUGIS guidelines. However conservative management was not always appropriate. We recommend that laparoscopic cholecystectomy should remain a management option for acute cholecystitis during the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
