early cholecystectomy is the gold-standard treatment for acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC), although many surgeons still prefer delayed cholecystectomy for grade II to avoid surgical complications. The aim of this study was to analyze the postoperative morbidity and mortality of Tokyo Guidelines grade-II ACC as treated with cholecystectomy, taking into account the days of symptoms and days since hospital admission.
