Abstract：Objective To choose a proper operation time for acute cholecystitis. Methods 120 patients with acute cholecystitis were randomly divided into the observation group (90 cases) and the control group (30 cases). In the observation group, patients were operated within 72 hours of the disease attack. In the control group, patients were operated after 72 hours of the disease attack. The two groups were observed in such complications as infection of incisional wound, bile duct injury, and pulmonary infection. The dura-tion of operation and hospital stay of two groups were recorded. Results The occurrence rate of observation group was 16.2% , which was significantly lower than that of the control group (29.33%). The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). The duration of operation and hospital stay of observation group were shorter than that of the control group. Conclusion Essential conditions should be found out based on close observation of patients. When the diagnosis is clear and there is no operation contraindication, the sooner the operation, the better the postoperative recovery and the lighter the inflammation will be.
