Abstract: Acute cholecystitis is one of the most substantial diseases among population, takes place most frequently due to blockage of the cystic duct with gallstones (cholelithiasis) and is among the most common severe abdomen diseases in emergency clinic. This systematic review was aimed to compare early cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis versus delayed cholecystectomy, we also intended to overview the benefits and the disadvantages in between two procedures. The MIDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library and Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched from inception to December 2016. The electronic searches were performed using exploded medical Mesh terms including ‘cholecystitis’, ‘cholecystectomy’ and” acute cholecystitis” “early” and “delayed”. The searches were limited to human subjects and English language restriction was applied. The references of relevant reviews and included studies were also searched for more potentially eligible studies to our concerned topic.Our findings reveled no risk distinction between early and delayed surgical treatment on the basis of results in mortality, morbidity, and rates of conversion. The mean total health center stay was much shorter in the early group than in the postponed group, and there was no difference in operation time in between the two groups. cholecystectomy within 24 hours of healthcare facility admission was revealed to be superior to the conservative method worrying morbidity.
