Overview

Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].

OR

Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and [indication 3]

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either [indication 1], [indication 2], and/or [indication 3].

OR

The feasibility of surgery depends on the stage of [malignancy] at diagnosis.

OR

Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for [disease or malignancy].

Indications

  • Surgical intervention is not recommended for the management of [disease name].

OR

  • Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with [disease name]. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
    • [Indication 1]
    • [Indication 2]
    • [Indication 3]
  • The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is medical therapy. Surgery is usually reserved for patients with either:
    • [Indication 1]
    • [Indication 2]
    • [Indication 3]

Surgery

  • Surgery is the mainstay of treatment for acute cholecystitis.[1][2]
    • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered the gold standard procedure for the treatment of acute cholecystitis.
  • Early cholecystectomy (EC) is usually preferred over delayed cholecystectomy (DC).[3][4][5][6][7]
    • Patients undergoing EC have following advantages over DC:
      • Shorter hospital stays
      • Lower costs
      • No risk of emergency cholecystectomy
