| Abstract | Aim: Compare morbidity and mortality in early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy in two groups of acute cholecystitis. Methods: This Quasi experimental study was carried out at Department of General Surgery Unit-IV of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore 6 months from June 2009 to November 2009. A total of 60 patients of acute cholecystitis were included between 20-65 years of age and were admitted through accident & emergency and out-patient departments. Patients were randomly allocated into two groups; group one underwent early laparoscopic cholecstectomy while the other had delayed surgery. Results: The mean age in early group was 37.73±8.77 while in delayed group 47.27±11.38. Female to male ratio was 4:1 in early group and 6.5:1 in delayed group. The main presenting feature was pain in right hypochondrium in both groups. Postoperative wound infection 1(3%) and fever 2 (7%) were noted in early while in delayed group wound infection was 1 (3%) and fever 3 (10%). Conclusion: We concluded that early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a safe and effective method for treatment of acute cholecystitis. The results of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy are superior to delayed cholecystectomy in experienced hands. |
