Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a method of choice for surgical treatment of diseases of gallbladder. Although most surgeons today use laparoscopic cholecystectomy in treatment of severe acute cholecystitis, most surgeons still consider acute cholecystitis a relevant contraindication for laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of "confused" anatomy and "severe" pathology. Aim of the study was to analyze laparoscopic cholecystectomy outcomes in treatment of acute cholecystitis.
