Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the surgical treatment of acute cholecystitis. Patients should undergo cholecystectomy as early as possible, preferably within 72 hours of symptom onset.

Classification of acute cholecystitis is divided into 3 levels: mild, moderate and severe depending on the actual clinical situation. Diagnosis of acute cholecystitis is based on clinical examination, laboratory work, ultrasound, computed tomography and scintigraphy.

When the gallbladder is inflamed or has many stones, it will cause pain for the patient. On clinical examination based on the location of the gallbladder, the doctor determines the gallbladder pain point, thereby helping to diagnose and orient the cause of cholecystitis.

Gastric cholecystitis is a serious complication of gallstones. If not treated promptly, the patient can face unpredictable health consequences.

Cholescintigraphy is performed by nuclear medicine physicians to diagnose biliary obstruction (for example, by stones or tumors), gallbladder disease, and bile leaks. It may be called a HIDA scan or a gallbladder scan.
