Abstrakt: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the generally recommended management of acute calculous cholecystitis. It is important for family physicians to be taken into consideration that for some patients the surgical risk-benefit profile favors conservative management. Here, we highlight the possibility of safe, home-based, conservative management of acute calculous cholecystitis in a patient-centered and evidence-based manner by a team of family physicians with backup support of their specialist referral network. We use this case to highlight the value of family physicians providing home-based care.
