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.

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.

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: Acute cholecystitis is one of the hepatopancreatobiliary emergencies. With more and more experience in the laparoscopic cholecystectomy studies are being carried out evaluating the effectiveness and feasibility of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis.Methods: Fifty patients presenting with acute cholecystitis were included in this study and randomized using chit in the box method into two groups- early group and delayed group.Results: Mean duration of surgery in the early group is 42.28±5.99 mins and in the delayed group is 39.12±5.55 mins (p=0.06). Gallbladder perforation was reported in 4 patients (16%) in early group and in 2 patients (8%) in delayed group (p=0.67). Gall stone spillage was reported in 3 patients (12%) in early group and in 2 patients (8%) in delayed group (p=1.00). At 6th hr mean VAS (visual analogue scale) score in the early group was 4.0±0.41 and in the delayed group it was 3.6±0.58 (p=0.01). At 12th hr mean VAS score in the early group was 3.4±0.51 and in the delayed group it was 3.3±0.48 (p=0.39). Mean duration of postoperative stay was 2.24±0.60 days in early group and in the delayed group it was 2.08±0.57 days (p=0.34).Conclusions: It has been found that early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible in the setting of acute cholecystitis with added advantage of shorter total hospital stay.

Background: This prospective randomized study was undertaken to to assess the outcomes of early versus delayed cholecystectomy for patient’s acute cholecystitis.Methods: 70 patients with acute cholecystitis were prospectively randomized to either an early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n=35) or a delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (n=35). The mean operative time, conversion rate, total hospital stay, intra-operative and post-operative complications, average hospital cost were evaluated between the two groups.Results: A total of 70 patients were enrolled, 35 patients in each group. There was no significant difference in the conversion rates (early, 8.57% vs delayed, 5.71%) and postoperative complications (early, 25% vs delayed, 20%). At the cost of an increased operating time (early, 81 minutes vs delayed, 78 minutes) and blood loss (early, 180.33ml vs delayed, 108.00 ml), early laparoscopic cholecytectomy significantly shortened the total hospital stay (early, 1.5 days vs. delayed, 7.95 days) and  average hospital cost (early 9240 INR vs delayed, 12251 INR).Conclusions: The safety and efficacy of early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis were comparable in terms of morality, morbidity and conversion rate. However early laparoscopic cholecystectomy allows significantly shorter  total hospital stay and reduction in days away from work at the cost of  longer operating time and blood loss and offers definitive treatment at initial admission. Moreover it avoids repeated admissions for recurrent symptoms has both medical as well as socioeconomic benefits and should be the preferred approach for patients managed by surgeons with adequate experience in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Introduction. Very few studies demonstrate the feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. However, most surgeons prefer to delay surgery in the acute phase. The aim of this prospective randomized study was to evaluate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Materials and Methods. Between August 2010 and March 2012, 30 patients with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 h of admission. This study group was compared with a control group of 30 patients of acute cholecystitis, who underwent delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy after an initial period of conservative treatment. Results. There was no significant difference in the conversion rates (3 early versus 2 delayed), postoperative analgesia requirements, postoperative pain scores, or duration of postoperative stay (1.67 days early versus 1.47 days delayed). However, duration of surgery was significantly more in the early group (65.78 minutes early versus 56.83 minutes delayed). Surgery was abandoned in 2 patients from the early group because of difficult anatomy. No complications and mortality were seen in either group. Conclusions. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is safe and feasible, offering the additional benefit of a shorter hospital stay. It should be offered to patients with acute cholecystitis, provided the surgery is performed within 72 h from the onset of symptoms.

Introduction: The role of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in treatment of acute cholecystitis is still controversial. Objective:The objective of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the outcomes of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy foracute cholecystitis and to compare the results with delayed cholecystectomy. Setting: Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. Period: 1st Feb,2012 to 31st July 2012. Materials & Methods: 60 diagnosed patients of acute cholecystitis were randomly allocated to two groups,Group 1 underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (Group 1, n = 30) and Group 2 to initial conservative treatment followed bydelayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 6 to 12 weeks later (Group 2 , n = 30). Results: The overall complication rate was 3.3% (01) inearly group and 16.7% (05) in the delayed group. There was no common bile duct injury in both groups. The complications includedwound infection and intraperitoneal collection. Conclusions: According to the results our study we concluded that early laparoscopiccholecystectomy can safely be carried out for acute cholecystitis as the complications for early laparoscopic cholecystectomy are lessas compared to delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy has also an edge over delayed because ofsingle hospital stay.

Background: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is now accepted as being safe for acute cholecystitis. However, it has not become routine, because the exact timing and approach to the surgical management remains ill define. Careful selection of patients, the knowledge of typical procedure-related complications, and their best treatment are the key points for a safe Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Objective: To compare the early and delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy in the acute phase in terms of frequency of conversion to open cholecystectomy. Study Design: Randomized clinical trial. Settings: Department of Surgery, Divisional Headquarter Hospital, Faisalabad. Punjab Medical College, Faisalabad Pakistan. Duration: Study was carried out over a period of six months from June 2018 to May 2019. Methodology: A total of 152 cases (76 cases in each group) were included in this study. All patients were randomly allocated to either group i.e., group -A early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and group-B delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Results: Mean age was 39.09 + 8.8 and 37.05+ 8.5 years in group- A and B, respectively. In group-A, male patients were 48 (63.2%) and female patients were 28 (36.8%). Similarly, in group-B, male patients were 41 (53.9%) and female patients were 35 (46.1%). Conversion to open cholecystectomy was required in 6 patients (7.9%) of group-A and 16 patients (21.0%) of group – B. Significant difference between two groups was observed (P= 0.021). Conclusion: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is safe and feasible in terms of less frequency of conversion to open cholecystectomy.

Abstract We aimed to compare the clinical outcome and cost of early versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Sixty patients with acute cholecystitis were randomized into early (within 24 hours of admission) or delayed (after 6–8 weeks of conservative treatment) laparoscopic cholecystectomy groups. There was no significant difference between study groups in terms of operation time and rates for conversion to open cholecystectomy. On the other hand, total hospital stay was longer (5.2 ± 1.40 versus 7.8 ± 1.65 days; P = 0.04) and total costs were higher (2500.97 ± 755.265 versus 3713.47 ± 517.331 Turkish Lira; P = 0.03) in the delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy group. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded in 8 patients in the early laparoscopic cholecystectomy group, whereas no complications occurred in the delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (P = 0.002). Despite intraoperative and postoperative complications being associated more with early laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared with delayed intervention, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be preferred for treatment of acute cholecystitis because of its advantages of shorter hospital stay and lower cost.
