    Acute cholecystitis, often caused by gallstones, presents with right upper quadrant pain and fever. Delayed surgical intervention in acute cholecystitis cases leads to better outcomes and lower mortality rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Context:

    • Acute cholecystitis incidence is rising, frequently linked to biliary lithiasis (gallstones).
    • Pathological types include catarrhal, suppurative, and gangrenous forms.
    • Key symptoms are right hypochondrium pain and fever; Murphy's sign is characteristic.

    Purpose:

    • To review diagnostic methods and treatment strategies for acute cholecystitis.
    • To evaluate the optimal timing for surgical intervention in acute cholecystitis.
    • To analyze outcomes based on different surgical timing approaches.

    Summary:

    • Advanced imaging like echotomography and CT scans improve diagnostic accuracy for acute cholecystitis.
    • Differential diagnosis includes peptic ulcer, pancreatitis, and appendicitis.

  • Complications such as perforation and necrosis can increase mortality, especially in comorbid patients.

    • Impact:

    • The study advocates for postponed emergency surgery for acute cholecystitis, demonstrating reduced mortality (2.2%) compared to other timings.
    • This approach facilitates surgical execution and shortens hospital stays.
    • Findings support optimized management protocols for acute cholecystitis, improving patient outcomes.
