Two thousand and twenty-one patients treated surgically for acute cholecystitis over a 42 year period with a mortality of 3.4 per cent are reported. This experience reveals that acute cholecystitis among patients 65 years of age and older is a serious condition and is associated with an appreciable operative mortality.
