What the experts said
A study was conducted in California using a national database to compare 30-day readmission rates in patients with acute cholecystitis operated at admission versus discharged for interval surgery.
The study included 550 patients, of whom 435 were operated during the index admission.
The readmission rate in patients operated acutely was 2.8%, compared to 22.6% in those operated in an interval fashion.
Operating on acute cholecystitis appears to be a good option in pediatric patients.
