Acute cholecystitis is an inflammatory condition of the gallbladder typically incited by mechanical obstruction. Accurate diagnosis of this common clinical condition is challenging due to variable imaging appearances as well as overlapping clinical manifestations with biliary colic, acute hepatitis, pancreatitis, and cholangiopathies. In acute cholecystitis, increased dilatation and high intraluminal pressures lead to gallbladder inflammation and may progress to gangrenous changes, focal wall necrosis, and subsequent perforation.

Acute calculous cholecystitis (ACC) and acute biliary pancreatitis (ABP) are significant complications of gallstone disease. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of current management practices for ACC and ABP. The Tokyo Guidelines (TG) and World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES) guidelines recommend early laparoscopic cholecystectomy (ELC) as the treatment of choice for ACC.

Gallstone disease is a common condition affecting a substantial number of individuals globally. The risk factors for gallstones include obesity, rapid weight loss, diabetes, and genetic predisposition. Gallstones can lead to serious complications such as calculous cholecystitis, cholangitis, biliary pancreatitis, and an increased risk for gallbladder (GB) cancer.

Article Synopsis
- Gallbladder agenesis is a rare condition where the gallbladder is absent, often going unnoticed until autopsy; most cases are asymptomatic.
- A 32-year-old male experienced intermittent epigastric pain, leading to surgery for suspected chronic cholecystitis, but no gallbladder was found during the procedure.
- Surgeons need to be aware of gallbladder agenesis, as standard imaging may not reveal its absence, and misdiagnosis can result in complications like bile duct injuries during surgery.
