Minimally invasive procedures in diagnostics and treatment of complications following cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis

In the hierarchy of acute abdominal diseases, acute cholecystitis holds the third position, surpassing both acute appendicitis and acute pancreatitis. Despite advancements in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, intraabdominal complications following cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis remain pertinent, and their prevalence increases with open cholecystectomy, contributing to elevated mortality rates. This underscores the critical need for timely diagnosis and comprehensive understanding of the development of postoperative intraabdominal complications. This article is a literature review encompassing various randomized clinical trials sourced from open-access journals worldwide. Leveraging electronic libraries such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, elibrary.ru, Cochrane Library, and others, we explore different approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of complications arising after cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis over the past decade. The primary objective of this review is to discern the most contemporary diagnostic methods and surgical approaches employed in the treatment of patients experiencing diverse postoperative complications.
