Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. If a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis is confirmed, it is advisable to proceed with gallbladder surgery. However, the suitability of the patient for anesthesia must be considered. In the case of your mother, who is experiencing pulmonary function test abnormalities, it is essential to identify the underlying cause of her respiratory issues and prioritize its treatment. Addressing the respiratory problem before undergoing surgery is crucial to minimize potential complications during anesthesia and the surgical procedure.
