Review Meta Analysis
Same-admission versus delayed cholecystectomy for mild acute biliary pancreatitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
The timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) performed after the mild acute biliary pancreatitis (MABP) is still controversial. We conducted a review to compare same-admission laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SA-LC) and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy (DLC) after mild acute biliary pancreatitis (MABP). ⋯ This study confirms the safety of SA-LC, which could shorten the LOS. However, the study findings have a number of important implications for future practice.
