title: [Treatment of acute cholecystitis. Clinico-statistical findings].
abstract: A series of 354 patients suffering from gall bladder and/or bile way conditions and who had undergone operation in the acute phase has been reviewed. The usefulness of early operation over more wait-and-see tactics is confirmed. Shortening of mean hospitalization is particularly significant. The difference in hospital mortality is insignificant. The only complication reported is the higher frequency of suppurative accidents in the surgical wound.
