• Early versus delayed gallbladder removal after tube drainage for moderate or severe acute cholecystitis.

  This trial tests whether removing the gallbladder soon after a drainage tube is placed or waiting several weeks leads to fewer complications for adults with moderate or severe acute cholecystitis.

• One-year outcomes after different treatments for acute cholecystitis in people aged 70 and older

  This project will compare supportive care, drainage, and surgery for people 70 and older with acute cholecystitis to see which approach leads to better health and fewer repeat treatments after one year.
