Summary

Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials and population based studies in acute cholecystitis are in favor for early laparoscopic surgery versus a delayed operation several weeks later. The main problems in these studies are the exclusion criteria used, thus not reflecting the real world setting of acute cholecystitis. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that a delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in a real world scenario has no worse outcome in comparison with an early operation (within 72 hours after onset of symptoms).
