Risk Prediction in Acute Calculous Cholecystitis: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Prognostic Factors and Predictive Models

Andrea Tufo et al.

Summary: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the main treatment for acute cholecystitis but carries risks of major complications and mortality. There is uncertainty in predicting outcomes for patients with acute cholecystitis, with TG13 Grade 3 severity possibly associated with higher mortality. Early referral to high-volume specialist centers is recommended, and further well-designed prospective studies are needed.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis: is the surgery still safe beyond the 7-day barrier? A multicentric observational study

Marcello Di Martino et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the timing and hospital volume impact on the outcomes of ELC in patients with ACC. Results showed that delayed surgery beyond 7 days from onset was associated with higher conversion rate, intraoperative complications, postoperative complications, and global complications. Higher volume centers demonstrated better outcomes in terms of conversion rate and certain complications.

Timing of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis: a meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials

Giuseppe Borzellino et al.

Summary: This study did not confirm the hypothesis that immediate cholecystectomy performed within 24 hours of admission may reduce post-operative complications unless surgery could be performed within 72 hours of the onset of symptoms.

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis is safe regardless of timing

Nina Sonne Bundgaard et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the safety of ELC compared to DLC for acute cholecystitis, finding that ELC is safe even beyond 5 days of symptoms. The duration of symptoms in AC does not independently predict perioperative outcomes.
