Cholecystitis is a common benign disease of the gallbladder and one of the common types of acute abdominal conditions. There are both acute and chronic cholecystitis; there are both calculous and non-calculous cholecystitis. Some cholecystitis can be cured by medication, both oral medications, such as anti-inflammatory and cholagogic tablets, and intravenous medications, such as various types of antibacterial drugs. However, the symptoms of cholecystitis may recur after drug treatment. Clinically, surgery should be considered for acute cholecystitis and chronic cholecystitis that are poorly treated with drugs or have recurrent attacks. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the preferred mode of surgery for cholecystitis and has been widely used and carried out in hospitals. However, surgery should be performed as early as possible, especially within 72 hours of the onset of cholecystitis. However, for patients with surgical difficulties, open surgery or ultrasound-guided cholecystocentesis and drainage can be considered before cholecystectomy is performed at a later stage.
