Abstract

Acute cholecystitis is an inflammation of gallbladder due to gallstones which is one of the most common causes of admission in surgical department, liver abscess is the pus collection caused from bacterial infection in liver parenchyma, developed in rare cases in acute cholecystitis with 0.8-3.2% incidence. Liver abscess caused by gallbladder perforation (pericholecystic abscess) it can be a disastrous complication with mortality rate 5.6%. we reported four cases of liver abscess caused by acute cholecystitis with different approach, first two cases drainage laparoscopic approach and IV antibiotics, after that they become as elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the third one drainage and started laparoscopic approach then converted to open approach due to adhesions and bleeding, the fourth one antibiotics IV, cholecystectomy and drainage of the abscess laparoscopic approach. The best method to treat the liver abscess depends on the clinical situation, the site of the abscess and experience of the surgeon.
