Patient Satisfaction After Ambulatory Emergency Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Sponsor: Hospital General de Chihuahua - Dr. Salvador Zubirán Anchondo

Summary

Acute cholecystitis is a common surgical emergency that, if left untreated, can result in significant morbidity and even death. It is characterized by inflammation of the gallbladder, usually caused by gallstones. The timing of surgical intervention plays a crucial role in determining patient prognosis, including the risk of complications, length of hospital stay, and overall recovery. Nowadays, the gold standard for its treatment is the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In appropriately selected cases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be performed on an outpatient basis, with good results in terms of efficacy and safety.
