Popis: Abstract Background Severe acute cholecystitis (AC) is a challenging disease because it comprises coexisting systemic infections that lead to vital organ dysfunction. This study evaluated the optimal surgical timing and efficacy of preoperative percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) for patients with severe AC. Methods Data of 142 patients who underwent cholecystectomy for severe AC between 2011 and 2021 were retrospectively collected from the multi-institutional database of the Hiroshima Surgical Study Group of Clinical Oncology. Patients were divided into the early cholecystectomy (EC) group (within 72 h of symptom onset) and delayed cholecystectomy (DC) group. They were also subdivided into the upfront cholecystectomy group and preoperative PC before cholecystectomy group. The diagnosis and severity of AC were graded according to the Tokyo Guidelines 2018. Clinicopathological variables and outcomes were compared. Results No significant differences in age, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification, and Charlson comorbidity index between the EC and DC groups were observed. Preoperative drainage was more commonly performed for the DC group than for the EC group. Local severe AC features were more commonly detected in the DC group than in the EC group. The postoperative outcomes of the EC and DC groups were comparable. Compared to the PC before cholecystectomy group, the upfront cholecystectomy group included more patients with ASA physical status ≥ 3 and more patients who used oral warfarin. Warfarin usage and cardiovascular dysfunction rates of the PC after cholecystectomy group were higher than those of the upfront cholecystectomy group. PC was associated with significantly less intraoperative bleeding and shorter hospital stays. Conclusions Patients who can tolerate general anesthesia are good candidates for EC. Patients who use warfarin and those with cardiovascular dysfunction are considered to be at high risk for postoperative complications; therefore, to prevent AC recurrence during the waiting period, PC before cholecystectomy during the same admission is more appropriate than upfront cholecystectomy for these patients.
