Evaluating effectiveness and safety of combined percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage and laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis patients: Meta-analysis. World J Gastrointest Surg 2024; 16:1407-1419. [PMID: 38817274 PMCID: PMC11135318 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i5.1407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2024] [Revised: 02/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/02/2024] [Indexed: 05/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a common disease in general surgery. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is widely recognized as the "gold standard" surgical procedure for treating AC. For low-risk patients without complications, LC is the recommended treatment plan, but there is still controversy regarding the treatment strategy for moderate AC patients, which relies more on the surgeon's experience and the medical platform of the visiting unit. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder puncture drainage (PTGBD) can effectively alleviate gallbladder inflammation, reduce gallbladder wall edema and adhesion around the gallbladder, and create a "time window" for elective surgery. AIM To compare the clinical efficacy and safety of LC or PTGBD combined with LC for treating AC patients, providing a theoretical basis for choosing reasonable surgical methods for AC patients. METHODS In this study, we conducted a clinical investigation regarding the combined use of PTGBD tubes for the treatment of gastric cancer patients with AC. We performed searches in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang Database. The search encompassed literature published from the inception of these databases to the present. Subsequently, relevant data were extracted, and a meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A comprehensive analysis was conducted, encompassing 24 studies involving a total of 2564 patients. These patients were categorized into two groups: 1371 in the LC group and 1193 in the PTGBD + LC group. The outcomes of the meta-analysis revealed noteworthy disparities between the PTGBD + LC group and the LC group in multiple dimensions: (1) Operative time: Mean difference (MD) = 17.51, 95%CI: 9.53-25.49, P < 0.01; (2) Conversion to open surgery rate: Odds ratio (OR) = 2.95, 95%CI: 1.90-4.58, P < 0.01; (3) Intraoperative bleeding loss: MD = 32.27, 95%CI: 23.03-41.50, P < 0.01; (4) Postoperative hospital stay: MD = 1.44, 95%CI: 0.14-2.73, P = 0.03; (5) Overall postoperative complication rate: OR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.45-2.43, P < 0.01; (6) Bile duct injury: OR = 2.17, 95%CI: 1.30-3.64, P = 0.003; (7) Intra-abdominal hemorrhage: OR = 2.45, 95%CI: 1.06-5.64, P = 0.004; and (8) Wound infection: OR = 0. These findings consistently favored the PTGBD + LC group over the LC group. There were no significant differences in the total duration of hospitalization [MD = -1.85, 95%CI: -4.86-1.16, P = 0.23] or bile leakage [OR = 1.33, 95%CI: 0.81-2.18, P = 0.26] between the two groups. CONCLUSION The combination of PTGBD tubes with LC for AC treatment demonstrated superior clinical efficacy and enhanced safety, suggesting its broader application value in clinical practice.

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy in severely comorbid patients with acute cholecystitis: results of a monocentric study. Future Sci OA 2024; 10:FSO951. [PMID: 38827793 PMCID: PMC11140638 DOI: 10.2144/fsoa-2023-0185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/03/2023] [Accepted: 12/06/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: The aim is to evaluate laparoscopic cholecystectomy safety based on American Society of Anesthesiologists score for acute cholecystitis in patients with comorbidities. Patients & methods: This is retrospective study of patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis between 2003 and 2021. According to their respective ASA-score, patients were divided into group 1: ASA1-2 and group 2: ASA3-4. Results: We collected 578 patients. Even though the gangrenous forms were more frequent and the operative time was longer in group 2, laparoscopic cholecystectomy seems safe and effective. We didn't observe any differences in terms of intraoperative incidents, open conversion rate, or postoperative complications compared with other patients. Conclusion: ASA3-4 patients with acute cholecystitis don't face elevated risks of complications or mortality during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Abstract
AIM Advances in laparoscopic surgery and perioperative care have improved the prognosis of operated patients, especially the oldest among them. This study aimed to assess the outcomes of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis in older adult patients. METHODS A retrospective analysis was carried out of 567 patients who underwent early laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis between January 2003 and July 2021. The outcomes of older adult patients (≥ 75 years) were compared with those of younger patients. RESULTS The older adult group had significantly more patients with an American Society of Anesthesiologists score ≥3 (37.5% vs 8.3%; P < 0.001) and more severe acute calculous cholecystitis (grade II; 82.8% vs 67%; P = 0.01). There were no significant differences regarding operative time (90 vs 80 min; P = 0.064), conversion rate (20.3% vs 13.5%; P = 0.144), and both intra- and postoperative morbidity, principally bile duct injuries (1.6% vs 0%; P = 0.113) and bile leakage (0% vs 1.2%; P = 1). CONCLUSION Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy could be proposed safely for older adult patients with mild and moderate acute cholecystitis. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2023; 23: 671-675.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute cholecystitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdomen. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard treatment, still burdened by a risk of intraoperative biliary duct injury. An alternative strategy to manage patients with severe acute cholecystitis is the percutaneous gallbladder drainage (PGBD). METHODS The Italian Society of Emergency Surgery and Trauma performed a systematic review and meta-analysis with the aim to clarify controversies about the preoperative use of PGBD. We extracted 32 studies: 9 Randomized Control Trial Studies (RCTs) and 23 no RCTs. RESULTS OF CRITICAL OUTCOMES The incidence of post-operative complications was lower in the PGBD associated at LC than in the LC alone (RCTs: RR 0.28, 95% CI 0.14 to 0.56, I2 = 63%). The incidence of the post-operative biliary leakage was higher in late PGBD' group (RCTs: RR 0.18, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.80). RESULTS OF OTHER OUTCOMES The incidence of intraabdominal abscess, blood loss, conversion to open, subtotal cholecystectomy, operative time and wound infection was lower in PGBD' group. The total hospital stay was the same. CONCLUSION A strong recommendation is performed to the use of the PGBD + LC than upfront LC to reduce biliary leakage (recommendation "strong positive") in high risk acute cholecystitis especially in patients with higher perioperative risks or longstanding acute cholecystitis. For post-operative complications a recommendation "positive weak" suggests that PGBD + LC could be used than upfront LC to reduce the rate of post-operative complications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder aspiration (PTGBA) and percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) are often the first-line treatments for acute cholecystitis, instead of surgical cholecystectomy. This retrospective study aimed to compare the treatment outcomes of PTGBA and PTGBD and evaluate the risks of treatment failure among patients undergoing PTGBA before surgical cholecystectomy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 99 patients who underwent PTGBA or PTGBD as the first-line treatment before surgical cholecystectomy, between January 2014 and December 2019. Patient characteristics, computed tomography (CT) findings, and post-treatment outcomes were compared between the PTGBA and PTGBD groups. Additionally, risk factors, including CT findings for PTGBA failure, were assessed using multivariate univariate analysis with a backward selection model. RESULTS Acute cholecystitis was not controlled in 21 of 47 (44.7%) patients in the PTGBA group and one of 52 patients (1.9%) in the PTGBD group (P < .001). Subsequent multiple logistic regression analysis identified the contrast effect of the gallbladder bed in the arterial phase of contrast-enhanced CT (odds ratio [OR] 9.17, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.08-40.4, P = 0.003) and onset within 3 days (odds ratio [OR] 6.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.37-29.0, P = 0.018) as independent risk factors for PTGBA failure. CONCLUSIONS PTGBA is more prone to failure than PTGBD; however, it is a simpler gallbladder drainage treatment method without the need for X-ray fluoroscopy and catheter management after the procedure. Evaluating the risk of PTGBA failure using CT findings and onset date would help us choose a drainage approach more effectively.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of surgeon-performed percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD). Methods Patients treated with PTGBD for acute cholecystitis (AC), performed by surgeons at Chosun University Hospital for 12 months between March 2017 and February 2018, were enrolled retrospectively, into the S-PTGBD group (n = 134). Patients with PTGBD performed by interventional radiologists for 12 months, 6 months before March 2017, and after February 2018, were included in the X-PTGBD group (n = 107). In addition to the basic characteristics of the patients, severity of AC, comorbidities, intervals from hospital admission to the PTGBDs, procedural times, technical success rates, intention-to-treat rates, and complication rates were evaluated and compared. Results Except for the patient’s age (older in S-PTGBD), there were no differences in the patient’s basic profiles, including the severity of the AC and comorbidities. Although the procedural times were significantly shorter in the X-PTGBD group (18.13 minutes vs. 11.39 minutes), effectiveness indicators such as the technical success rates and intention-to-treat rates and safety, such as the major complication rates in the S-PTGBD group, were comparable with those in the X-PTGBD group. The intervals between hospital admissions and PTGBDs were shorter in the S-PTGBD group, although this difference disappeared in the high-risk group. Effectiveness and safety in the high-risk group were also comparable between the groups. Conclusion The PTGBDs performed by surgeons are as effective and safe as those performed by interventional radiologists with faster implementation of PTGBD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) is an important modality for acute cholecystitis and has been applied for other clinical scenarios as well. In the present study, we aimed to investigate an alternative use of PC for obstructive jaundice. METHODS From January 2012 to December 2018, eligible subjects were selected from patients undergoing PC in our institute. The characteristics, spectrum of underlying disease, indication for PC performance, details of the procedure, and treatment effect were all investigated. RESULTS During the study period, 1364 patients underwent PC. Seventy patients fulfilled the defined inclusion criteria. While 47 patients were diagnosed with malignant biliary obstruction with or without cholangitis, 23 patients were diagnosed with nonmalignant biliary obstruction and acute cholangitis. There were 63 patients (90%) diagnosed with acute cholangitis. Pancreatic cancer (n = 24, 51%) and advanced malignancy (n = 28, 59%) were noted mostly in the group with malignant biliary obstruction. Treatment effects were proven by laboratory data, including the white blood cell count, C-reactive protein level, and hepatic function. CONCLUSION PC can temporize definitive therapies and serve as an alternative treatment for patients with nonmalignant conditions. For patients with advanced malignancy, PC can serve as a palliative procedure that has a high success rate and low complication rate and effectively relieves biliary obstruction.

Comparison of emergency cholecystectomy and delayed cholecystectomy after percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage in patients with acute cholecystitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Updates Surg 2020; 73:481-494. [PMID: 33048340 PMCID: PMC8005400 DOI: 10.1007/s13304-020-00894-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 09/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) are common treatments for patients with acute cholecystitis. However, the safety and efficacy of emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after PTGBD in patients with acute cholecystitis remain unclear. The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched through October 2019. The quality of the included nonrandomized studies was assessed using the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS). The meta-analysis was performed using STATA version 14.2. A random-effects model was used to calculate the outcomes. A total of fifteen studies involving 1780 patients with acute cholecystitis were included in the meta-analysis. DLC after PTGBD was associated with a shorter operative time (SMD − 0.51; 95% CI − 0.89 to − 0.13; P = 0.008), a lower conversion rate (RR 0.43; 95% CI 0.26 to 0.69; P = 0.001), less intraoperative blood loss (SMD − 0.59; 95% CI − 0.96 to − 0.22; P = 0.002) and longer time of total hospital stay compared to ELC (SMD 0.91; 95% CI 0.57–1.24; P < 0.001). There was no difference in the postoperative complications (RR 0.68; 95% CI 0.48–0.97; P = 0.035), biliary leakage (RR 0.65; 95% CI 0.34–1.22; P = 0.175) or mortality (RR 1.04; 95% CI 0.39–2.80; P = 0.933). Compared to ELC, DLC after PTGBD had the advantages of a shorter operative time, a lower conversion rate and less intraoperative blood loss.

Abstract
Background Dementia often adversely affects postoperative outcomes in surgical patients. This study evaluated postoperative outcomes among elderly patients with and without dementia undergoing early cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis (AC). Methods A total of 182 patients over 85 years of age who were diagnosed with AC and treated from January 2005 to March 2018 were reviewed retrospectively; 59 patients who underwent early cholecystectomy were enrolled. The complication rates, length of postoperative hospital stay, and rates of routine discharge (i.e., returning to their preoperative living location) were compared between two groups of patients with and without dementia. Results The overall complication rate after early cholecystectomy for AC in 59 patients was 11.9%, and there was no mortality in this series. The median postoperative hospital stay was 9.0 days, and the routine discharge rate was 89.8%. Of the 59 patients, 22 patients (37.3%) had a history of dementia. Complication rates were comparable between the groups, despite the rate of delirium development being significantly higher in the dementia group. The median length of postoperative hospital stay and routine discharge rates did not significantly differ between groups. Conclusions Early cholecystectomy for patients with AC over 85 years of age was performed safely, and elderly patients with dementia had similar postoperative outcomes as compared with patients without dementia.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered as the standard treatment of acute cholecystitis. However, whether this procedure is desirable in elderly patients with acute cholecystitis is not clearly elucidated. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of thorough preoperative assessment and consultation for complications on clinical outcomes in elderly patients over 65 and over 80 years. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 205 patients who were diagnosed with acute cholecystitis between January 2010 and April 2018. The patients were assigned to three groups: group A (aged <65 years), group B, (aged between 65 and 79 years), and group C (aged >79 years). Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed after preoperative evaluation, such as echocardiography, pulmonary function test, and consultation about past history. Results Significant differences were not found in the complication rate among the age groups. Open conversion was required in eight of the 114 patients in group A, seven of the 70 patients in group B, and one of the 21 patients in group C. However, no statistical significance was found. Moreover, no difference was noted in the start of the meal and the period from surgery to last visit, but hospital stay after surgery was longer in groups b and c. Conclusions When sufficient preoperative assessment and treatment were performed, complication and conversion rates were not significantly different among the age groups. In extremely elderly patients, preoperative evaluation and elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy were desirable.

Abstract
Controversy exists on the suitability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in acute cholecystitis, especially in patients with severe comorbidities. Recently, many nonsurgical departments have indicated a preference for percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), but surgeons consider LC as the final treatment option for cholecystitis. This analysis evaluated the curative efficacy of PTGBD in combination with LC as compared with emergency LC (e-LC). We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 86 patients with acute complicated cholecystitis. Patients were divided into two groups as those who received e-LC and those who underwent PTGBD combined with LC (PTGBD1LC), and baseline characteristics, perioperative data, and operative parameters were compared to check for intergroup differences. Baseline characteristics were similar for the study groups. However, although the operating duration ( P = 0.12) and postoperative hospital stay ( P = 0.39) did not evidence significant differences, the PTGBD1LC group had significantly better outcomes than the e-LC group with regard to blood loss ( P < 0.05), peritoneal drainage duration ( P < 0.05), and time to postoperative resumption of oral intake ( P < 0.05). Moreover, conversion to open surgery, complications during LC, and mortality rate were all higher in the e-LC group. PTGBD combined with LC is an effective treatment for acute complicated cholecystitis, especially in elderly patients or those with serious comorbidities. To some extent, the curative effect of this method can be considered superior to that of emergency LC.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Various aspects of the management of acute calculous cholecystitis, including type and timing of surgery, role of antibiotics, and nonoperative management, remain controversial. This review focuses on recently published studies addressing the timing of cholecystectomy, use of cholecystostomy tubes, and role of antibiotics in this condition. RECENT FINDINGS In most cases, the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis can be initially confirmed with an abdominal ultrasound. Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (within 24-72 h of symptom onset) is better than delayed surgery (>7 days) for most patients with grade I and II diseases. Percutaneous cholecystostomy and novel endoscopic gallbladder drainage interventions may be used as a temporizing measure or as definitive therapy in those who are too sick to undergo surgery. Studies are conflicting as to whether antibiotics are required for the treatment of uncomplicated cases. SUMMARY Cholecystectomy remains the only definitive therapy for acute cholecystitis. Current guidelines recommend treatment on the basis of disease severity at presentation. Antibiotics and a variety of minimally invasive nonsurgical interventions, although not definitive, play an adjunctive role in the management of the disease.

Abstract
Prompt and accurate diagnosis is critical in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Diffusion-weighted whole-body magnetic resonance imaging with background body signal suppression/T2 image fusion (DWIBS/T2) identifies areas with high signal intensity, corresponding to inflammation. In the present study, the records and images of patients with acute cholecystitis who underwent DWIBS/T2 between January 2013 and March 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 11 patients with acute cholecystitis were enrolled. In one patient, DWIBS/T2 identified a thickened wall and high signal intensity, with high signal intensity in the pericholecystic space that suggested localized peritonitis. Positive DWIBS/T2 results indicating acute cholecystitis were obtained in 10/11 patients, with a sensitivity of 90.9%. In addition, wall thickening and high signal intensity were absent in DWIBS/T2 images when wall thickening was not detected by computed tomography. Wall thickening and high signal intensity was attenuated when patients with acute cholecystitis were clinically treated. These data suggest that a thickened gallbladder wall and high signal intensity are indicative of acute cholecystitis and that DWIBS/T2 may be a useful technique in evaluating the severity of acute cholecystitis.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Frequently encountered in practice, the first-line treatment for acute cholecystitis is early or urgent cholecystectomy, with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) being the preferred method. Percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD) is considered as a safe alternative therapeutic option for resolving acute cholecystitis in surgically high-risk patients. We evaluated the surgical outcomes of acute cholecystitis, focusing on the differences between emergent LC without PTGBD, and scheduled LC following PTGBD. Methods Between March 2010 and December 2014, 294 patients with acute cholecystitis who had undergone LC, were retrospectively studied. Group I included 166 patients who underwent emergency LC without PTGBD. Group II included 128 patients who underwent scheduled LC after PTGBD. Clinical outcomes were analyzed according to each group. Results On admission, Group II had a higher mean level of c-reactive protein than Group I. According to the classification of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), group II had a greater number of high-risk patients than group I. There was no significant difference on perioperative outcomes between the two groups, including open conversion rate and complications. Analysis as per the ASA classes revealed no statistically remarkable finding between the groups. Conclusions There are no significant differences in the surgical outcomes of emergency LC group without PTGBD, and scheduled LC group following PTGBD. Comparison between two groups according to ASA classification reflecting the comorbidity and severity of condition of the patients also revealed no significant differences. However, scheduled LC following PTGBD is important for patients having acute cholecystitis with concurrent comorbidity.

Abstract
Intra-abdominal infections (IAIs) are common surgical emergencies and have been reported as major contributors to non-trauma deaths in the emergency departments worldwide. The cornerstones of effective treatment of IAIs are early recognition, adequate source control, and appropriate antimicrobial therapy. Prompt resuscitation of patients with ongoing sepsis is of utmost important. In hospitals worldwide, non-acceptance of, or lack of access to, accessible evidence-based practices and guidelines result in overall poorer outcome of patients suffering IAIs. The aim of this paper is to promote global standards of care in IAIs and update the 2013 WSES guidelines for management of intra-abdominal infections.

[PMID: 27847794 PMCID: PMC5107416 DOI: 10.4174/astr.2016.91.5.226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2016] [Revised: 07/29/2016] [Accepted: 08/03/2016] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) can be an alternative surgical technique for difficult cholecystectomies. Surgeons performing LSC sometimes leave the posterior wall of the gallbladder (GB) to shorten the operation time and avoid liver injury. However, leaving the inflamed posterior GB wall is a major concern. In this study, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of standard laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SLC), LSC, and LSC removing only anterior wall of the GB (LSCA). Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed between January 2006 to December 2015 and analyzed the outcomes of SLC, LSC, and LSCA. Results A total of 1,037 patients underwent SLC. 22 patients underwent LSC; and 27 patients underwent LSCA. The mean operating times of SLC, LSC, and LSCA were 41, 74, and 68 minutes, respectively (P < 0.01). Blood loss was 5, 45, and 33 mL (P < 0.05). The mean lengths of postoperative hospitalization were 3.4, 5.4, and 5.8 days. Complications occurred in 24 SLC patients (2.3%), 2 LSC patients (9%), and 1 LSCA patient (3.7%). There was no mortality among the LSC and LSCA patients. Conclusion LSC and LSCA are safe and feasible alternatives for difficult cholecystectomies. These procedures help surgeons avoid bile duct injury and conversion to laparotomy. LSCA has the benefits of shorter operation time and less bleeding compared to LSC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intravenous antibiotics are frequently used in the initial management of acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC), although supportive care alone preceding delayed elective cholecystectomy may be sufficient. This systematic review assessed the success rate of antibiotics in the treatment of ACC. METHODS A systematic search of MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library databases was performed. Primary outcomes were the need for emergency intervention and recurrence of ACC after initial non-operative management of ACC. Risk of bias was assessed. Pooled event rates were calculated using a random-effects model. RESULTS Twelve randomized trials, four prospective and ten retrospective studies were included. Only one trial including 84 patients compared treatment with antibiotics to that with no antibiotics; there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of length of hospital stay and morbidity. Some 5830 patients with ACC were included, of whom 2997 had early cholecystectomy, 2791 received initial antibiotic treatment, and 42 were treated conservatively. Risk of bias was high in most studies, and all but three studies had a low level of evidence. For randomized studies, pooled event rates were 15 (95 per cent c.i. 10 to 22) per cent for the need for emergency intervention and 10 (5 to 20) per cent for recurrence of ACC. The pooled event rate for both outcomes combined was 20 (13 to 30) per cent. CONCLUSION Antibiotics are not indicated for the conservative management of ACC or in patients scheduled for cholecystectomy.
