Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder that most commonly occurs as a result of obstruction of the cystic duct by gallstones. The current standard of treatment for acute cholecystitis is cholecystectomy. Debate continues regarding the clinical outcomes of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: This study consisted of patients who had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystectomy. Patients were divided between an early laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 72 hours of symptom onset) and a delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy group (patients who underwent cholecystectomy at least 72 hours from symptom onset) and clinical outcomes were compared. Results: Operation time, length of postoperative hospital stay, conversion rate and rates of bile leak were documented and compared. Conclusions: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis yields more favorable clinical outcomes than delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder that most commonly occurs as a result of obstruction of the cystic duct by gallstones. The current standard of treatment for acute cholecystitis is cholecystectomy. Debate continues regarding the clinical outcomes of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study. Results: A total of 40 patients who had acute calculous cholecystitis underwent laparoscopic surgery between January 2011 and June 2013. Conversion to open cholecystectomy was required in 1 (2.5%) patients. The mean operation time was 72.8 minutes. Intraoperative complication: bleeding 2 (5%) patients, peritoneal gallbladder 5 (12.5%) cases. Postoperative complications consisted 1 (2.5%) patient mild subhepatic fluid collection. There was no mortality. The mean hospital stay was 6 days. Conclusions: Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis yields more favorable clinical outcomes than delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

The aim is the analysis of clinical and anamnestic, biochemical and hemostasiological parameters in thromboembolic complications in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC). Materials and Methods. A retrospective analysis of clinical information was performed regarding 206 patients with a diagnosis of acute calculous cholecystitis, who were hospitalized in the Emergency Medical Care Hospital of Lviv (current name: St. Panteleimon Hospital of the First Territorial Medical Association of the City of Lviv) in the period from 2014 to 2018. Results and Discussion. It was established that 2.91% of patients with ACC had thromboembolic complications, which were manifested in the form of deep vein thrombosis and PE of small branches and were more often diagnosed in patients with significantly older age (on average, 72.67±11.13 years of age). Thromboembolic complications in patients with ACC developed reliably more often in people who had concomitant pathology (hypertensive disease, IHD, COPD, liver cirrhosis, stroke). Patients with a complicated thrombotic diagnosis were also diagnosed with final non-thrombotic complications: local and general peritonitis, perivesical abscess, perforation, abdominal sepsis and subhepatic abscess. The average duration of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LCE) in patients without complications was 60.00 [45.0-70.0] minutes, in patients with non-thrombotic complications - 62.50 [38.5-85.0] minutes, and in patients with thrombotic complications it was significantly longer - 95.0 [95.0-95.0] minutes (p<0.05). Conclusions. In patients with complicated acute cholecystitis, thromboembolic complications with local and general peritonitis, perivesical abscess were diagnosed more often (p<0.05). Patients with complicated acute calculous cholecystitis underwent cholecystectomy (83.33% [46.48-99.96]) reliably more often than patients with uncomplicated acute cholecystitis, whereas LCE was performed only in 16.67% [0.04-53.52] of cases. Therefore, cholecystectomy lasted for more than 1 hour in 80% [38,45-99,94] of cases.

Background While cholecystectomy (CCY) is the standard of care for gallstone-related acute cholecystitis, percutaneous cholecystostomy-tube (CCYT-tube) is an alternative option in patients with significant comorbid conditions. We sought to identify immediate and longitudinal hospital outcomes of patients who underwent CCYT-tube placement and determine predictors of CCYT-tube placement and eventual CCY on a national level in the US. Methods We identified all adults (age >= 18 years) with a primary diagnosis of acute calculous cholecystitis from January to November 2013 in the Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD). The NRD allows longitudinal follow-up of a patient for one calendar year. Outcomes of patients undergoing CCY and CCYT-tube were compared. Separate univariable and multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of CCYT-tube placement and failure to undergo subsequent CCY. Results A total of 181,262 patients had an index hospitalization with acute cholecystitis where 178,095 (98.3%) patients underwent only CCY and 3167 (1.7%) patients were managed with CCYT-tubes. Among patients with CCYT-tube, 1196 (37.8%) underwent eventual CCY in 2013, while 1971 (62.2%) did not. One in five patients with CCYT-tube were readmitted within 30 days of hospital discharge. Multivariable analysis demonstrated that increasing age, male gender, coronary artery disease, cirrhosis, atrial fibrillation, diastolic congestive heart failure, and sepsis were associated with CCYT-tube placement. Longitudinal follow-up revealed that older age (OR 1.16, 95% CI 1.09-1.23), Elixhauser comorbidity score 3-4 (OR 1.94, 95% CI 1.03-3.63), cirrhosis (OR 3.28, 95% CI 1.59-6.79), and diastolic congestive heart failure (OR 2.47, 95% CI 1.33-4.60) were associated with failure to undergo subsequent CCY. Conclusion In this national survey, nearly two in three patients who receive CCYT-tube for acute cholecystitis do not get CCY during longitudinal data capture within the same calendar year. Future research needs to target novel options for drainage of the gallbladder in high-risk patient populations.

INTRODUCTION Nonoperative management of acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) in the frail geriatric population is underexplored. The aim of our study was to examine long-term outcomes of frail geriatric patients with ACC treated with cholecystectomy compared with initial nonoperative management. METHODS We conducted a 2017 analysis of the Nationwide Readmissions Database and included frail geriatric (>= 65 years) patients with ACC. Frailty was assessed using the five-factor modified frailty index. Patients were stratified into those undergoing cholecystectomy at index admission (operative management [OP]) versus those managed with nonoperative intervention (nonoperative management [NOP]). The NOP group was further subdivided into those who received antibiotics only and those who received percutaneous drainage. Primary outcomes were procedure-related complications in the OP group and 6-month failure of NOP (readmission with cholecystitis). Secondary outcomes were mortality and overall hospital length of stay. RESULTS A total of 53,412 geriatric patients with ACC were identified, 51.0% of whom were frail: 16,791 (61.6%) in OP group and 10,472 (38.4%) in NOP group (3,256 had percutaneous drainage, 7,216 received antibiotics only). Patients were comparable in age (76 +/- 7 vs. 77 +/- 8 years; p = 0.082) and modified frailty index (0.47 vs. 0.48; p = 0.132). Procedure-related complications in the OP group were 9.3%, and 6-month failure of NOP was 18.9%. Median time to failure of NOP management was 36 days (range, 12-78 days). Mortality was higher in the frail NOP group (5.2 vs. 3.2%; p < 0.001). The NOP group had more days of hospitalization (8 [4-15] vs. 5 [3-10]; p < 0.001). Both receiving antibiotics only (odds ratio, 1.6 [1.3-2.0]; p < 0.001) and receiving percutaneous drainage (odds ratio, 1.9 [1.7-2.2]; p < 0.001) were independently associated with increased mortality. CONCLUSION One in five patients failed NOP and subsequently had complicated hospital stays. Nonoperative management of frail elderly ACC patients may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
