title: [Acute cholecystitis--early cholecystectomy?].
abstract: Some controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that early or immediate operation for acute cholecystitis produces better results than delayed operation or conservative treatment. From 1969 to 1983, 397 patients have been operated for acute cholecystitis at the Surgical University Hospital Würzburg, the results are discussed here.
