Implication

Randomised controlled trial compares perioperative outcomes of early and delayed cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis, suggesting early surgery may reduce hospital stay.

Key Points

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) provides shorter hospital stays compared to delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC).
Postoperative complications did not differ significantly between early and delayed groups, with wound infection rates of 3.6% and 4.5%, respectively.
In a total of 224 patients, the conversion to open surgery occurred in only 0.9% of cases, indicating the feasibility of ELC.
No mortality was reported in either group, emphasizing the safety of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis.
