Brief Summary   OzkardeÅŸ AB et al (2014), conducted a study to compare the clinical outcome and cost of early versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis. Sixty patients with acute cholecystitis were randomized into early (within 24 hours of admission) or delayed (after 6–8 weeks of conservative treatment) laparoscopic cholecystectomy groups. There was no significant difference between study groups in terms of operation time and rates for conversion to open cholecystectomy. On the other hand, total hospital stay was longer and total costs were higher in the delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy group. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded in 8 patients in the early laparoscopic cholecystectomy group, whereas no complications occurred in the delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy group.Despite intraoperative and postoperative complications being associated more with early laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared with delayed intervention, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be preferred for treatment of acute cholecystitis because of its advantages of shorter hospital stay and lower cost.

Ahmad UJ et al (2020), conducted a study that total 100 patients with clinical diagnosis of acute cholecystitis, admitted in the surgical wards of Gauhati Medical College and Hospital during the period of 1st July 2017 to 30th June 2018 were selected for the study. 40 patients underwent early cholecystectomy (within 7 days of onset of symptoms) and 60 patients underwent elective or late cholecystectomy (after a gap of 6-8 weeks from the acute attack). In the present series the average duration of surgery was 90.37±11.96 minutes in the early group and 65.3±7.83 minutes for the elective group which is found to be statistically significant (p value<0.05). In the early surgery group 8.33% required conversion to open surgery. In the elective surgery group 3.63% required conversion. Wound infection, biliary leakage, bile duct injury, and respiratory tract infection was found to be statistically not significant between the two groups. Early cholecystectomy is feasible and safe for acute cholecystitis and is better method of treatment because of its shorter hospital stay, which is a major economic benefit to both the patient and health care system.
