Abstract:
Emphysematous cholecystitis (EC) is a severe and rare variant of acute cholecystitis characterized by ischemia of the gallbladder wall with gas-forming bacterial proliferation. Open cholecystectomy is traditionally the gold standard approach to treatment due to difficulty in isolating Calot's triangle in the setting of intense inflammation. We present a case of EC successfully and safely treated by laparoscopic surgery.
