    Summary

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Complications
    • Biliary System Diseases

    Background:

    • Acute acalculous cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder without gallstones.
    • It can present as a rare complication following major surgical procedures unrelated to the biliary tract.

    Observation:

    • Two cases are presented where patients developed acute acalculous cholecystitis post-surgery.
    • Key symptoms were often masked by typical postsurgical pain, delaying diagnosis.

    Findings:

    • The condition frequently progresses to gangrene and perforation of the gallbladder.
    • This progression contributes to a high mortality rate associated with this complication.

    Implications:

    • Increased awareness among clinicians is vital for prompt recognition.
