Objective To analyze the role of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with acute calculous cholecystitis. Methods A total of 74 patients with acute calculous cholecystitis admitted to our hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were randomly divided into two groups. The experimental group underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, while the control group underwent open surgery. Indicators such as hospital stay were compared. Results Regarding complication data: 2.7% in the experimental group vs. 21.62% in the control group, P<0.05. Intraoperative blood loss, surgical time, hospital stay, and gastrointestinal function recovery time: Experimental group (55.17±6.37) ml, (45.09±4.52) min, (5.43±0.97) d, (10.18±2.47) h; Control group (88.45±10.25) ml, (65.93±5.17) min, (6.92±1.04) d, (25.97±4.68) h, P<0.05. sf-36 score: After treatment, the experimental group scored as high as (90.19±3.51) points, while the control group scored only (85.03±4.72) points, with a significant difference (P<0.05). Postoperative VAS score: The experimental group was lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients with acute calculous cholecystitis showed better clinical outcomes, fewer complications, and more significant improvements in postoperative pain and quality of life.
