Early versus delayed cholecystectomy for cholecystitis at high risk of operative difficulties: A propensity score-matching analysis - 04/05/21
, Tristan Monchal a, Clément Julien a, Florent d’Argouges a, Paul Balandraud a, bAbstract |
Background |
Numerous studies have demonstrated the superiority of early (EC) over delayed (DC) cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis (AC). However, none have assessed the effect of operative difficulty when reporting on treatment outcomes.
Methods |
Outcomes of patients who underwent EC or DC between 2010 and 2019 were compared taking into account the operative difficulty evaluated by the Difficult Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy score (DiLC). For each patient, the DiLC score was retrospectively calculated and corresponded to the foreseeable operative difficulty measured on admission for AC. A propensity score was used to account for confounders. Primary endpoints were the length of stay (LOS) and the occurrence of a serious operative/post-operative event (SOE).
Results |
DC in patients with DiLC≥10 reduced the risk of SOE without increasing the LOS. Conversely, DC in patients with DiLC<10 increased the LOS without improving outcomes. Multivariate analysis found EC in patients with DiLC≥10 as the main independent predictor of SOE.
Conclusions |
Provided prospective validation, DC for AC in patients with DiLC≥10 seems safer than EC and is not hospital-stay consuming.

Highlights |
• | The operative difficulty of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for cholecystitis vary. |
• | Basically, all acute cholecystitis should benefit from early cholecystectomy. |
• | Post-operative complications rate increases with the difficulty of the procedure. |
• | Outcomes in high-risk procedures could be improved with delayed surgery. |
