Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Comparison between early and late laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding Operation time

    comparing the needed intra-operative time for laparoscopic cholecystectomy within and after 3 days of the onset of acute calcular cholecystitis , time will be measured by minutes

    intra-operative

  • Comparison between early and late laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding difficulty of operation

    comparing the difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy within and after 3 days of the onset of acute calculous cholecystitis, difficulty will be assessed by the rate of conversion to open cholecystectomy

    intra-operative

  • comparison between early and late laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding post operative pain

    comparing between laparoscopic cholecystectomy within and after 3 days of the onset of acute cholecystitis regarding the presence and duration of post operative pain , pain will be measured by either the pain responded to regular NSAIDs or needed the administration of narcotics

    within 1month post operative

  • Duration of postoperative hospital stay

    comparing post-operative duration of hospital stay after laparoscopic cholecystectomy within and after 3 days of the onset of acute calcular cholecystitis ,duration will be measured by post operative days spent in the hospital

    within 2 weeks post-operative

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • comparison between early and late laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding post operative bile leakage

    first 72 hours post-operative

  • comparison between early and late laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding post operative bleeding

    7 days postoperative

  • presence of any wound complication by examining the wound

    within 10 days post-operative

Study Arms (2)

Procedure: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

LC after 72 hours of disease onset

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Late laparoscopic cholecystectomy after 72 hours of the onset of symptoms was performed in these patients

Procedure: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Interventions

The use of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in management of acute calculous cholecysitits

LC after 72 hours of disease onsetLC within 72 hours of disease onset
