Background: The relationship between the severity assessment of acute cholecystitis based on the Tokyo Guidelines and the risk for conversion from laparoscopic surgery to open surgery has been assessed in few previous reports, with conflicting results.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients with acute cholecystitis within a single system from 2010 to 2013 was performed. The diagnosis and severity of acute cholecystitis were assigned by the Tokyo Guidelines 2013 (TG13).
Background: Age is one of the causes behind the undertreatment of elderly colorectal cancer patients. The increase of mortality among elderly colorectal cancer (CRC) patients is due to competing causes of death occurring in the early post operative period. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for post operative mortality and morbidity among elderly CRC patients.

- The study analyzed the impact of the 2007 Tokyo guidelines on the treatment of acute cholecystitis (AC) at a surgical center in Tunisia, comparing data from before and after the guidelines were implemented.
- The results showed that early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) became significantly more common after the guidelines were introduced, with fewer patients needing conversion to open surgery and shorter hospital stays.
- Overall, the guidelines improved the efficacy and safety of AC treatment, highlighting their importance in resource-limited settings like Tunisia.
