Summary
During the laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis, most surgeons routinely use
the postoperative antibiotics after surgery. However, there is no consensus regarding the
actual need of postoperative antibiotics in these cases and the use of postoperative
antibiotics remains controversial.
Investigators will compare the surgical outcomes after laparoscopic cholecystectomy to the
patients who has no evidence of systemic infection, according to the usage of postoperative
antibiotics or not. The investigators expect that the routine use of postoperative
antibiotics after laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis gallbladder will have
no effects on the postoperative morbidity.
