Full description

Textbook outcome is a measure used to assess the quality of surgical practice and has been implemented in various areas of surgical literature. It is defined as an uneventful operative and postoperative period that leads to successful surgery without negative outcomes. There is still no consensus on the textbook outcome concept for emergency cholecystectomy. SPRIMACC Collaborative Study has presented and offered a list of textbook outcome criteria.

Their proposal was: no 30-day mortality, no 30-day postoperative complications (any CD≥I is considered non-TO), no readmission within 30 days, and hospital stay≤7 days (75th percentile) and full laparoscopic surgery.

The goal of this observational study is to compare textbook outcomes of elderly patients (≥65 years) in emergency cholecystectomies with younger patients(<65 years ) via using aforementioned criteria
