ABSTRACT
Aim:
to describe the management of acute calculous cholecystitis in a tertiary teaching hospital and the outcomes obtained. Material andmethods:
a retrospective single tertiary center cohort study.Results:
medical records of 487 patients were analyzed. The mean follow-up was 44.5 +/- 17.0 months. Treatment alternatives were cholecystectomy (64.3%), conservative treatment (23.0%), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (17.4%), percutaneous cholecystostomy (10.7%) and endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (0.8%). Most cholecystectomies were delayed (88.8%). Recurrences occurred in 38.2% of patients. Although cholecystectomy was the therapeutic approach with the lowest recurrence rate once performed, 44.6% of patients that underwent delayed surgery had pre-surgical recurrences.Conclusions:
delayed cholecystectomy is still commonly performed, even though it is related with a high frequency of preoperative recurrencesRESUMEN
