The document discusses gallbladder pathology and cholecystectomy. It notes that 90% of cholecystectomies are now performed laparoscopically. For acute cholecystitis, early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within the first few days has lower conversion and complication rates than delayed surgery. The document also outlines criteria for diagnosing and classifying the severity of acute cholecystitis based on clinical signs, lab values, and imaging findings. Surgical management depends on the severity and includes laparoscopic cholecystectomy, drainage with possible delayed cholecystectomy, or open cholecystectomy for severe cases with organ dysfunction.
