Acute cholecystitis is a complication of gallstone
disease, and its severity can be graded according to the Tokyo Guidelines into
grades one, two, and three. The management of acute cholecystitis can be
divided into conservative treatment followed by delayed cholecystectomy. With
the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, early cholecystectomy has
slowly emerged as the treatment of choice. As there is no consensus on the
management of acute cholecystitis, this chapter investigates the role of
conservative treatment, timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and the role of
percutaneous cholecystostomy.
