Early laparascopic cholecystoectomy is the ideal management of acute cholecystits.

Dr. Ali Ghazi

Abstract :

 

Acute cholecystits is a common condition encountered in surgical practice. It effects all age groups but it is more serious in elderly and diabetic patients. So early diagnosis and early surgical intervention has the advantages over delayed surgical intervention.

 Method

From January 2011 to August 2016 I conducted aprospective study at alkarama teaching hospital. I compared the two approaches to the treatment of acute cholecystits. During this study 74  patients with acute cholecystits to surgical department 35 patient were treated with early laparascopic cholecystoectomy within24 to 72 hours from the appearance of symptoms while the remaining patient were treated with antibiotics and subsequently underwent delayed cholecystoectomy after 6 weeks.            

Results:

Our results suggest several advantages of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy such as shorter operation time, lower conversion rate, shorter length of hospital stay, shorter postoperative convalescence and lower cost of hospitalisation.

Conclusion:

Based on these results we believe that immediate laparoscopic cholecystectomy (within24to 72 hours from the patients admission to hospital) should become a preferred method of treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis.
