Abstract
This paper presents a comparative analysis of the clinical efficacy of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (performed within 72 hours of symptom onset) versus delayed (interval) surgical intervention for acute cholecystitis. Key assessment criteria include the rate of intraoperative complications, the risk of conversion to open laparotomy, total length of hospital stay (LOS), and overall cost -effectiveness. Based on data from current meta-analyses, the definitive advantages of the early surgical strategy are established for the vast majority of patient cohorts.
