Acute cholecystitis after orthopedic surgery presents as a rapidly progressing, potentially fatal condition. Early diagnosis by orthopedic surgeons is crucial to prevent severe complications like gallbladder gangrene and perforation.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical complications
  • Gastrointestinal disease

Background:

  • Postoperative complications can present atypically.
  • Acute cholecystitis is a known surgical complication.

Observation:

  • Three cases of acute cholecystitis following orthopedic operations are presented.
  • The condition is often obscure and fulminating.

Findings:

  • Rapid progression to gallbladder gangrene and perforation is common.
  • High mortality rates are associated with delayed diagnosis.

Implications:

  • Orthopedic surgeons must maintain a high index of suspicion for acute cholecystitis.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are vital to improve patient outcomes and prevent mortality.
