Current Management of

Acute Cholecystitis: A

Narrative Review

The article analyzes the current approach to acute calculous cholecystitis, a common condition caused by obstruction of the cystic duct by gallstones, leading to inflammation of the gallbladder. Clinically, it presents with right upper quadrant abdominal pain, accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical findings, laboratory results such as leukocytosis, and imaging studies, with abdominal ultrasound being the method of choice due to its good sensitivity in detecting inflammatory changes in the gallbladder.

The article highlights the use of the Tokyo Guidelines, which classify the disease into three levels of severity: mild, moderate, and severe. This classification is essential for determining treatment. In mild and moderate cases, management includes intravenous antibiotics and cholecystectomy, while in severe cases, characterized by organ dysfunction, initial management involves gallbladder drainage through percutaneous cholecystostomy to stabilize the patient, followed by surgery at a later stage.

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the definitive treatment and the gold standard, due to its advantages such as lower morbidity and mortality, shorter hospital stay, and faster recovery. However, in complicated cases, conversion to open surgery may be necessary. One of the most relevant aspects discussed is the optimal timing of surgery, as there is a current trend toward early cholecystectomy, preferably within the first 72 hours or even within the first 24 hours of hospital admission. Several studies show that this approach reduces complications, costs, and hospital stay compared to delayed surgery.
