ABSTRACT
Acute suppurative cholecystitis is a complex acute abdomen in general surgery, which usually occurs in middle-aged and elderly people. With the improvement of living standards and the aging of the population, the incidence of the disease is increasing year by year. Elderly patients have certain clinical particularities, and they are often combined with other underlying diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, specific programs should be implemented for different situations during patient treatment, and a more complete risk assessment should be carried out. The preferred treatment for acute suppurative cholecystitis is surgery, but for patients with poor general conditions or intolerable surgery, percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage may be a good alternative. This article reviews the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of acute suppurative cholecystitis in the elderly.
