Results 147 (16%) patients were referred to hospital-at-home, while the rest completed their treatment in the hospital ward. There were no significant differences between the home hospitalization and conventional hospitalization groups in the rates of complications, mortality, readmissions, relapse and...
In very ill patients not responding to treatment, there may be need for percutaneous drainage (drainage through the skin) of the gallbladder under radiological control, as a means of controlling infection, especially when such patient is unfit for surgery due to a pre-existing medical condition l...
At 1 year, most of the mortality difference may be due to other diseases and not to surgery for cholecystitis. When comparing matched patients, the only difference was the length of stay during the index cholecystitis. Seventeen per cent of NOM patients were readmitted for treatment failure or ...
Acute calculous cholecystitis is a frequently encountered problem in surgical practice; laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is the standard treatment. LC for acute cholecystitis can be a more difficult procedure than elective LC for cholelithiasis and is associated with increased operating time, higher conve...
The condition is diagnosed by eitherUS scan or CT scan. Treatment is vialaparoscopic cholecystectomy* (may require intra-operative drainage if tense gallbladder) or percutaneous cholecystostomy (if unsuitable for surgery). *There is a higher rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy with emypema th...
