Early Versus Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis a Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is not proven for acute Cholecystitis till now. This prospective randomized study aimed to compare and assess laparoscopic cholecystectomy protection & viability for acute & delayed cholecystectomy consequences. Methods: A total of 40 patients with severe Cholecystitis were assigned to one of two groups: early laparoscopic Cholecystectomy within 24 hours of admission (early group, n =20) or conservative treatment accompanied by delayed cholecystectomy (late group, n = 20).(delayed community, n =20) 6–12 weeks after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Results: There were no significant differences in alteration rates (early 5.3 days versus delayed 4.8 days), Postoperative complications (early 5.3 days versus delayed 4.8 days), or postoperative time differences (early 104 minutes versus delayed 4.8 days) (early, 15 percent vs. delayed, 20 percent). On the other hand, the primary group had slightly extra blood loss (228 versus 114 ml) and spent less time in the hospital (4.1 vs. 10.1 days). Conclusion:Early Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for severe Cholecystitis is protective & viable, with the extra advantage of lesser hospitalizations. Patients with acute Cholecystitis should be made available if surgery is carried out 72 to 96 hours after symptoms are started.
