The surgical management of acute calculus cholecystitis involves performing a cholecystectomy, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the current gold standard in the management of acute calculus cholecystitis. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be divided into early laparoscopic cholecystectomy and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and early laparoscopic cholecystectomy is increasingly being performed. Delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy is now performed for patients who have failed to undergo early laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Single incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy and robotic -assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy are new procedures that have been included for the surgical management of acute calculus cholecystitis. In this review, we will investigate the role of conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and robotic -assisted laparoscopic cholecystectomy in the management of acute calculus cholecystitis.
