Background: Acute cholecystitis is a frequent cause of visits to the emergency ward. The complications of delays in attention and surgical therapy are substantial and should be considered to prevent them timely.

Objective: The study aims to evaluate the assistance provided to patients for cholecystitis in Villavicencio hospitals. Methodology: A retrospective cross-sectional trial will be performed. The source of information will be the surgical database of hospitals at Villavicencio from 2019 to 2022. The records selected will be exported to an Excel spreadsheet for debugging and analysis. The central distribution and dispersion of numerical variables will be analyzed, as frequency and proportion of categorical variables with the software Prism 10.01.1 for Mac iOS. Chi-square and U-Mann \& Whitney tests will compare variables according to the data type. A p\<0.05 will be defined as statistically significant. Expected results: the researchers hope to define the frequency of hospital discharges due to acute cholecystitis, the type of procedure performed, complications, and outcomes.

Conclusions: The research is feasible because the necessary information is available for evaluation, and it is helpful for the institutions and the region.
