Gallbladder surgery timing for acute cholecystitis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study compares the results of gallbladder removal surgery done within the first 72 hours of symptoms versus after 72 hours for people with acute cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation). It aims to see if the timing makes a difference in outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder).
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You do not have stones in the common bile duct (based on imaging and blood tests).
- You are healthy enough to have surgery.

This trial compares removing the gallbladder early (within a few days) versus waiting several weeks after a drainage tube is placed. It aims to find the best timing for surgery in people with moderate to severe gallbladder inflammation.
This study compares two ways to treat a gallbladder infection in older adults: surgery or a less invasive procedure using an endoscope and ultrasound. The goal is to see which option leads to better outcomes.
This trial looks at whether it is safe to delay treatment for a gallbladder infection in patients who have already had a special stent placed to drain the gallbladder. Patients who are too sick for surgery will be randomly assigned to receive either antibiotics with monitoring or immediate gallbladder removal.
This Phase 3 study compares two approaches for people with gallstone-related acute gallbladder inflammation: a procedure called EUS drainage versus antibiotic treatment alone. It may help you avoid early surgery if you are considered high risk for immediate gallbladder removal.
This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder after a drainage procedure for severe gallbladder inflammation. It helps doctors decide when surgery is safest and most effective for you.
This study looks at the best time to remove the gallbladder in people who have had a severe bout of pancreatitis caused by gallstones. It aims to see if removing the gallbladder earlier or later after recovery helps patients heal better.
