Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually associated with reduced hospital stay, sick leave, and health care expenditures. Early diagnosis and treatment of acute cholecystitis reduce both mortality and morbidity and the accurate diagnosis requires specific diagnostic criteria of clinical data and imaging studies.\n Objectives<\/jats:italic>\n . To compare early versus delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy regarding the operative outcome and patient satisfaction.\n Patients and Methods<\/jats:italic>\n . Patients with acute cholecystitis were divided into two groups, early (A) and delayed (B) cholecystectomy. Diagnosis of acute cholecystitis was confirmed by clinical examination, laboratory data, and ultrasound study. The primary end point was operative and postoperative outcome and the secondary was patient\u2019s satisfaction.\n Results<\/jats:italic>\n . The number of readmissions in delayed treatment group B was three times in 10% of patients, twice in 23.3%, and once in 66.7% while the number of readmissions was once only in patients in group A and the mean total hospital stays were higher in group B than in group A.

Early laparoscopic cholecystectomy resulted in significant reduction in length of hospital stay and accepted rate of operative complications and conversion rates when compared with delayed techniques.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/162643","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,14]],"date-time":"2014-08-14T18:04:28Z","timestamp":1408039468000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Operative Outcome and Patient Satisfaction in Early and Delayed Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy for Acute Cholecystitis"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2014","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8012-0947","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Aly","family":"Saber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of General Surgery, Port-Fouad General Hospital, 19 Al-Guish Street, Port Fouad, Port Said, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emad N.","family":"Hokkam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Suez Canal University, Ismailia, Egypt"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00534-012-0567-x"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00534-006-1159-4"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00534-012-0548-0"},{"key":"4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/bjs.6870"},{"key":"5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/RUQ.0b013e31822a33e8"},{"issue":"1","key":"6","first-page":"107","volume":"18","year":"2013","journal-title":"East and Central African Journal of Surgery"},{"key":"7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/178908"},{"key":"8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4293\/108680812X13291597716023"},{"key":"9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00464-005-0100-2"},{"issue":"6","key":"10","first-page":"324","volume":"139","year":"2002","journal-title":"Journal de chirurgie"},{"key":"11","first-page":"68","year":"2005","journal-title":"Journal of Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences"},{"key":"12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00534-012-0568-9"},{"issue":"2","key":"13","first-page":"56","volume":"19","year":"2013","journal-title":"Medical Channel"},{"issue":"1","key":"14","first-page":"162","volume":"15","year":"2008","journal-title":"The Professional Medical Journal"},{"key":"15","first-page":"2270","year":"2006","journal-title":"Pakistan Journal Of Surgery"},{"issue":"2","key":"16","first-page":"59","volume":"13","year":"2008","journal-title":"Journal of Surgery Pakistan"},{"issue":"2","key":"17","first-page":"10","volume":"19","year":"2012","journal-title":"Journal of the Royal Naval Medical Service"},{"key":"18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000658-200105000-00015"},{"issue":"4","key":"19","first-page":"121","volume":"19","year":"2013","journal-title":"Ambulatory Surgery"},{"key":"20","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ambsur.2004.04.004"}],"container-title":["Minimally Invasive Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/mis\/2014\/162643.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/mis\/2014\/162643.xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"http:\/\/downloads.hindawi.com\/journals\/mis\/2014\/162643.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]],"date-time":"2016-07-28T11:55:29Z","timestamp":1469706929000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.hindawi.com\/journals\/mis\/2014\/162643\/"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014]]},"references-count":20,"alternative-id":["162643","162643"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1155\/2014\/162643","relation":{},"ISSN":["2090-1445","2090-1453"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2090-1445","type":"print"},{"value":"2090-1453","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014]]}}}
