Same-admission laparoscopic cholecystectomy in acute cholecystitis: the importance of 72 hours and oxidative stress markers.

Background: This prospective randomized study aims to compare outcomes between immediate laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and same admission delayed LC in patients with acute cholecystitis and also to investigate the relation between oxidative stress markers and complication rates in the patients with AC.

Methods: This study included 64 patients with AC who were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in Group 1 (n=32) were immediately administered LC, while in Group 2 (n=32) patients underwent transient LC following medical treatment.
