    Treatment of acute cholecystitis in 300 patients showed high rates of hepatic insufficiency, significantly increasing mortality. Cholecystectomy was the primary surgical intervention, but liver dysfunction remained a critical factor in patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Context:

    • Acute cholecystitis presents a significant clinical challenge.
    • Management involves surgical intervention with potential complications.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze treatment outcomes for acute cholecystitis.
    • To evaluate the incidence and impact of hepatic insufficiency.

    Summary:

    • 300 patients with acute cholecystitis were treated, with 95% undergoing surgery.
    • Cholecystectomy was the preferred procedure (97.1%).
    • Hepatic insufficiency developed in 57.6% of patients, leading to a fourfold increase in lethality and being the primary cause of death in 34.1% of operated cases.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the critical role of hepatic function in acute cholecystitis outcomes.
