Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnosis and treatment of acute acalculous gangrenous cholecystitis (AAGC). Methods The clinical data of 46 patients with AAGC treated in our hospital from 1990 to 2006 were retrospocfively analyzed. Results All patients with AAGC were surgically treated when the final diagnosis was confirmed. Of the 46 patients, 32 underwent cholecystectomy, 14 partial cholecystectomy and 5 cholecystectomy, exploration of common bile duct and T-tube drainage. Tow patients died after operation due to toxic shock and multiple organ failure. Conclusions B-mode ultrasonography, laboratory examination, symptoms and clinical signs are the main methods for diagnosis of AAGC. Early diagnosis, careful preoperative preparation and surgical therapy are important to raise curative rate of the disease.
