Discussion Conservative treatment of acute calculous cholecystitis during index admission seems feasible and safe , especially in patients with mild disease .
Background In medical practice , the tendency to remove an inflamed gallbladder is deeply rooted .
Cholecystectomy , however , is associated with relatively high complication rates , and therefore the decision whether or not to perform surgery should be well considered .
For some patients , the surgical risk – benefit profile may favour conservative treatment .
The objective of this study was to examine the short- and long-term outcome of conservative treatment of patients with acute calculous cholecystitis .
