The conversion rate was higher during early laparoscopic surgery for acute calculous cholecystitis than in operations for acute biliary pain (19 versus 4 per cent; P = 0\u00b7002). In patients with acute calculous cholecystitis the conversion rate was significantly lower in operations within 48 h of admission (one of 26) than when surgery was delayed beyond 48 h (14 of 52) or subsequently carried out electively (seven of 21) (P = 0\u00b7014). Elective surgery for previous acute cholecystitis was associated with a higher conversion rate (seven of 21 patients) than elective surgery for biliary pain (three of 65) (P = 0\u00b7002).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute calculous cholecystitis should be performed, where possible, within the first 48 h of admission.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.4831","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,19]],"date-time":"2005-03-19T11:00:33Z","timestamp":1111230033000},"page":"586-591","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Role of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the early management of acute gallbladder disease"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"W K","family":"Peng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Surgical Sciences (Surgery), Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Little France Crescent, Edinburgh EH16 4SA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z","family":"Sheikh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Surgical Sciences (Surgery), Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Little France Crescent, Edinburgh EH16 4SA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S J","family":"Nixon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Surgical Sciences (Surgery), Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Little France Crescent, Edinburgh EH16 4SA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Paterson-Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Surgical Sciences (Surgery), Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh, Little France Crescent, Edinburgh EH16 4SA, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021070906073173400_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9610(70)80133-7","article-title":"Early versus delayed operation for acute cholecystitis.
