Evaluation of the CT Scan as the First Examination for the Diagnosis and Therapeutic Strategy for Acute Cholecystitis.
S MartellottoA DohanM PocardPublished in: World journal of surgery (2021)
It is possible to place the surgical indication of cholecystectomy on the only data of the CT scan. We propose a decision-making algorithm that uses the CT scan to make the diagnosis and decide on emergency treatment for complicated cases or that allows us to propose a delayed surgery for simple cholecystitis.
