PREVENTION OF CHOLECTYSTITIS:-

There are two methods mainly use for prevention of Cholectystitis:-

1. Medicinal treatment.
2. Operational treatment.


Medicinal treatment of Cholectystitis:

Medicinal treatment of Cholectystitis includes intake of medicines like Anticholinergics in order to decrease gallbladder & biliary tree tone which as a result decrease gallbladder pain.

Antibiotics treatment of acute Cholectystitis usually requires single-agent therapy, but for more serious infections, combination drug treatment increases broad-spectrum coverage.

Operational treatment of Cholectystitis:-

The operational treatment can be carried out by the removal of gallbladder, either immediately after diagnosis or after the subject has improved. Occasionally, subject with complications require surgery immediately after diagnosis. Subject who have Cholectystitis with no gallstones have about a 50% chance of death if the gallbladder is not quickly removed.

If the subject has other serious medical problems that may increase the risks of gallbladder removal surgery, the surgeon may decide to leave the gallbladder in place. In this case, an operation called a cholecystectomy may be performed to remove obstructing gallstones and drain infected bile
