Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

With the progressive aging of the population in industrialized countries, acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) has been constantly increasing among elderly. Because ACC is the most common complication of biliary gallstone disease and the population will become older, ACC in elderly is expected to increase. In 2017, the incidence of gallstone disease in Italian population is was 18.8% in women and 9.5% in men; the prevalence was 15% and 24% at 70 years and 24% and 35% at 90 years for males and females respectively. Since the increase in age is often associated with an increase in comorbidity, fragility, surgery related complications, morbidity and mortality, the surgical indication for gallstone is still debated and often based on anesthetic risk. In order to avoid surgery for elderly and high-risk patients, alternative treatments to surgery have been developed. The present study aimed to compare two groups of patients with acute calculous cholecystitis undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy, under and over 70 years old and to assess whether laparoscopy can offer the same safety and efficacy to older people.
