Abstract
Urgent cholecystectomy for the management of acute gallstone disease is feasible and achievable in an acute services hospital with a specialist upper gastrointestinal team. It can lead to a reduced conversion rate, shorter hospital stay, fewer unplanned readmissions, an acceptable operating time and a low complication rate. The protocol is recommended for implementation in other hospitals.
