- Title
General surgery's game changer and the unanswered question.
- Authors
Koea, Jonathan B.
- Abstract
The author assesses the ways in which the emergence of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy has changed the practice of managing acute cholecystitis. The author discusses the advantages of early laparoscopic cholecystectomy compared with interval cholecystectomy in terms of dealing with acute cholecystitis, the features of the 12-point plan for acute general surgery services issued by General Surgery Australia in 2010 and the debate on whether cholecystecomy has become a subspecialty procedure.
