Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Acute Cholecystitis
Interventions
Procedure: from the onset of symptoms within the first 3 days
Procedure: from the onset of symptoms beyond 7 days
Registration Number
NCT04405713
Lead Sponsor
Mansoura University
Brief Summary

The ideal timing for ELC continues to be debatable in patients with acute calculator cholecystitis (ACC). This study was planned to identify the impact of different ELC timing in ACC on surgical outcomes in terms of safety and efficacy

Detailed Description

This multicentric analysis involved of successive patients with ACC ELC between April 2018 and March 2020. Patients were divided into three groups according to the timing of the surgery: from the onset of symptoms within the first 3 days (group 1), between 4 and 7 days (group 2), and beyond 7 days (group 3). The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative complications The secondary outcomes were conversion rate, blood loss, operative times, operational difficulty, the cost-benefit relationship, postoperative stay with each treatment line.
