Calculous acute cholecystitis, in emergency abdominal surgery, is ranked second after acute appendicitis. A scientific study was undertaken regarding the effectiveness and the priorities of the active involvement tactics in the treatment of these patients. In our opinion, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible in the treatment of acute cholecystitis. Early detection and treatment of acute cholecystitis may decrease the number of patients with advanced cholecystitis and thus reduce the number of converted patients and postoperative complications.
