Acute Cholecystitis (Gallbladder Attack) Made Simple

[@aaronjackson2304]

I am concerned that the treatment option is immediate gallbladder removal. If the case is uncomplicated, why not try a conservative approach with antibiotics such as Flagyl and Levaquin? Try a high fiber diet with water and citrus fruits to counter the bile salts and flush out more cholesterol as the antibiotics attack the organism.

My recent attempted Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy was halted due to complex adhesion to the duodenum etc. and identified a gallstone in the Hartman’s Pouch and laparoscopic ultrasound suggested possible further stone in the CBD and possible Marizzi’s syndrome. I am awaiting further investigation and I guess surgery? Not sure how risky this scenario might be?
