Colecistitis aguda: estudio comparativo de 3 alternativas médico - quirúrgicas / Acute cholecystitis: comparative study of three medical-surgical alternatives

RESUMEN

Se estudian tres alternativas de tratamiento quirúrgico de la Colecistitis Aguda, el Grupo I de 40 pacientes estudiados en forma retrospectiva, recibieron tratamiento médico conservador y cirugía convencional diferida; el Grupo II de 40 pacientesestudiados en forma prospectiva y operados antes de las 72 horas de iniciado el cuadro vesicular agudo mediante técnica convencional y el Grupo III de 40 pacientes estudiados en forma prospectiva e intervenidos mediante técnica laparoscópica. Comparamos el tiempo operatorio, la caída de temperatura, el retiro de sondanasogástrica, el dolor postoperatorio, la tolerancia oral y el tiempo de hospitalización postoperatorio. Demostramos que hay una diferencia significativa en todos los parámetros antes mencionados sobre todo cuando comparamos la técnica convencional y la técnica laparoscópica, en favor de la última.
