Abstract

Patients operated on for acute cholelithiasis between 72 hours and up to 9 days after symptom onset may benefit similarly as from an earlier operation. Delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholelithiasis is a feasible and safe procedure that compares favorably with early laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
