    Summary

    Surgical intervention is crucial for treating acalculous cholecystitis, particularly destructive forms in elderly patients. Early surgery is recommended when medical treatment for acute cholecystitis fails.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Acalculous cholecystitis presents a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
    • Destructive forms of acute cholecystitis are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present surgical treatment experience for 263 patients with acalculous cholecystitis.
    • To highlight the incidence of destructive forms and the necessity of surgical intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 263 patients undergoing surgical treatment for acalculous cholecystitis.
    • Classification of cholecystitis based on pathological findings: gangrenous, phlegmonous, and catarrhal.

    Main Results:

    • Out of 263 patients, 188 had planned/postponed operations, and 75 underwent urgent surgery.
    • Gangrenous cholecystitis occurred in 25 patients, phlegmonous in 46, and catarrhal in 4.
    • Three patients died due to severe comorbidities, not directly from cholecystitis.

    Conclusions:

    • Acalculous cholecystitis, particularly its destructive forms, is prevalent in elderly patients.
    • Active surgical management is essential following the failure of conservative medical treatment for acute cholecystitis attacks.
