ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into the best timing for a surgery called laparoscopic cholecystectomy (a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder) after a procedure known as percutaneous drainage, which helps relieve symptoms in patients with acute cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder). The goal is to find out when is the safest and most effective time to perform this surgery after drainage, especially for patients who have more severe cases of the condition.

To participate in this trial, you need to be over 18 years old and scheduled for gallbladder surgery. It's important that you agree to join the study and sign a consent form. If you have other health issues that could complicate your treatment or if your doctor feels you may not be able to follow the trial's requirements, you may not be eligible. Participants will be monitored closely to help researchers understand the best approach for surgery after drainage, which could lead to improved care for future patients with similar conditions.
