Implication

Retrospective comparative study demonstrates better outcomes with early cholecystectomy in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis, suggesting preference for this approach.

Key Points

To compare surgical outcomes and postoperative complications of early versus delayed cholecystectomy in acute calculous cholecystitis patients.
Conducted a retrospective comparative study with 200 patients diagnosed with acute calculous cholecystitis.
Patients were divided into early (n=100) and delayed cholecystectomy (n=100) groups.
Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 27, with P < 0.05 considered significant.
Early cholecystectomy had a shorter mean operative time (68.4 vs. 79.6 min; P = 0.001).
Postoperative complications were lower in the early group (10.0% vs. 20.0%; P = 0.046).
Readmission rates were significantly lower for early surgery (3.0% vs. 15.0%; P = 0.003).
