Abstract
Two hundred and eighteen unselected cases of acute cholecystitis have been routinely treated by urgent cholcystectomy within 12 hours of admission to hospital. The mortality (0.5 per cent) and morbidity are within acceptable limits. The rate of diagnostic error has been low (1.4 per cent) so that negative laparotomy only occurred very occasionally.Keywords
