Despite laparoscopic cholecystectomy being the preferred treatment for elective cholecystectomy, surgery for acute cholecystitis is often performed using the open method. The aim of the study was to assess the incidence of cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis and to determine the proportion of laparoscopically completed procedures compared with all cholecystectomies for acute cholecystitis. ⋯ The total number of patients having cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis has increased as has the rate of laparoscopically completed procedures. It is not known whether it is possible to obtain a further reduction in the number of open cholecystectomies.
