Abstract Background Acute cholecystitis (AC) is one of the important causes of abdominal pain on presentation to the emergency department. Early diagnosis and treatment of AC has a positive effect on morbidity and mortality. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is an important approach for treating acute cholecystitis nowadays. Issued data indicated that approximately 917,000 and >50,000 LCs were annually performed to treat acute cholecystitis in the United States and England, respectively. Although LCs have been extensively performed to manage acute cholecystitis, the optimal timing of LC for this given condition is inconclusive. Aim of the work The aim of this study is to prospectively compare between early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a management of acute calcular cholecystitis along with their operative and post-operative outcomes. Patients and methods From December 2019 to December 2020 in Ain Shams University Hospitals, a prospective randomized study was conducted over 20 patients of acute cholecystitis: 10 of them underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy from 3 day to 7 day of symptoms of acute cholecystitis, and the other 15 after 6- 8 weeks. Operation time, intraoperative and postoperative surgical complications and duration of hospital stay were assessed and compared in the 2 groups. Results Although the operation time was longer in the group with early laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but the overall complications along with the total hospital stay were less in this group of patients. Conclusion Early timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in relation to the onset of gall bladder inflammation may reduce the conversion rate and the total complication rate. So, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with acute cholecystitis has both medical and socioeconomic benefits and it is the preferred approach in comparison to delayed approach.

Background: Approximately 80% of the cholecystectomies are performed laparoscopically. Traditionally, acute cholecystitis is treated conservatively followed by delayed cholecystectomy 6-8 weeks after the acute attack. Various studies have addressed the optimal timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to compare early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 60 patients presenting with acute cholecystitis to compare early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy, focussing on intra-operative and postoperative parameters like duration of surgery, surgical difficulties and complications, analgesic requirement, duration of postoperative hospital stay and wound related complications. Results: Longer operation times were required in the early group. Postoperative pain scores and analgesic requirements were almost similar in two groups. The cost of treatment in the delayed group was significantly higher. Conclusion: Though early laparoscopic cholecystectomy required longer operative times, it resulted in reduced the cost of treatment than delayed LC.

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.
