[Therapy of the "acute gallbladder"].
Acute stone-related cholecystitis is treated by early cholecystectomy. Percutaneous cholecystostomy seems more and more the preferred treatment of stress-related acalculous cholecystitis. Diagnosis is confirmed by ultrasound. Simultaneous combined operations, i.e. cholecystectomy and common bile duct revision, are performed in patients under 65 years of age without serious concomitant diseases and if the operation is not hazardous. The inhospital mortality amounts to about 3%.
