Acute Cholecystitis — gallbladder inflammation.
In most cases this problem is fully treated with surgery — the most important step is early diagnosis.
Why it happens (simple explanation)
Main cause — gallstones blocking the gallbladder and causing infection. Fatty food, obesity, pregnancy and rapid weight loss increase the risk.
How it is diagnosed
Evaluation is done step by step:
- Surgeon or traumatologist examination (abdominal pressure tests)
- Blood test (white blood cells and liver enzymes)
- Abdominal ultrasound or CT scan (to see gallbladder and stones)
How it is treated
Treatment is mainly surgical.
Surgical method
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy — removal of the gallbladder through small incisions (modern and fast-recovery method).
Medications
Antibiotics, pain relievers and anti-inflammatory drugs are given before surgery.
