Summary

The best management of the acute cholecystitis is to do laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The hypothesis is that to do it as an early intervention after patient admission is better than delayed cholecystectomy regarding the hospital stay, interval for antibiotic, the easiness of the operative maneuver reflected by operative time, conversion and intraoperative complications.

Detailed description

Doing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with acute cholecystitis as an early intervention after patient admission ( first group) or to do it after a while of treatment and conservation as a delayed cholecystectomy (second group) points of study include the hospital stay, interval for antibiotic, the easiness of the operative maneuver reflected by operative time, conversion and intraoperative complications.
