A member asked:
What are the treatments available for acute acalculous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery best: The definitive treatment of acalculous cholecystitis is cholecystectomy for patients who are able to tolerate surgery. In patients with acalculous cholecystitis who are high-risk surgical candidates (ie, end-stage liver disease), endoscopic gallbladder stent placement has been reported as an effective palliative treatment.
