Overview

Systematic review highlights low preoperative diagnosis rates in gallbladder torsion cases, emphasizing improved imaging techniques.

Key Points

  • Only 41% of gallbladder torsion cases were diagnosed preoperatively, underscoring the challenge of recognizing this rare condition.
  • Recent advances in imaging techniques did not significantly improve diagnostic rates, indicating a need for better awareness among healthcare providers.
  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was the most frequently performed surgical procedure, reflecting current management strategies for gallbladder torsion.
  • The rate of correct preoperative diagnosis remains critically low, raising concerns about potential morbidity and mortality associated with delays in treatment.
