    Summary

    Bile peritonitis in acute cholecystitis patients leads to high mortality, especially with delayed diagnosis and treatment. Early surgery is crucial for improving outcomes in these critical cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Bile peritonitis is a severe complication of acute cholecystitis.
    • This condition presents a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in surgical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the outcomes of patients with bile peritonitis secondary to acute cholecystitis.
    • To identify factors contributing to the high mortality rate associated with this condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 20 patients diagnosed with bile peritonitis over a 15-year period.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, treatment strategies, and mortality rates.

    Main Results:

    • Bile peritonitis occurred in 1.8% of acute cholecystitis admissions.
    • The average age of affected patients was 72 years, with a male predominance (15 men, 5 women).
    • Mortality was 100% in non-operated patients and 29.4% in operated patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Delayed diagnosis and treatment are primary drivers of the high mortality in bile peritonitis.
    • Prompt surgical intervention for acute cholecystitis is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality.
