• Abstract:

  Acute cholecystitis is considered an inflammation, of different etiology, of the gallbladder wall. It is evident that the gold standard treatment for this pathology, when it has lithogenic origin, is performed through surgery, via laparoscopic or open conventional routes and, therefore, such techniques have several complications that contribute to the process of morbidity and mortality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to describe postoperative complications and discomfort in patients undergoing laparoscopic and conventional cholecystectomy. To this end, an integrative literature review was carried out, carried out as qualitative research based on academic books, articles, guidelines and materials collected in databases such as UpToDate, Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO, National Library of Medicine – PubMED. In this work, the causal link can be elucidated, as well as the potential impact of postoperative complications of conventional and laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
