[Correspondence] Time to revisit indications for cholecystectomy

Aafke van Dijk and colleagues1 presented the findings from their multicentre, randomised, non-inferiority trial (SECURE), designed to compare a conventional indication for cholecystectomy with a more restrictive and criteria-based strategy in patients with abdominal pain and ultrasound-proven gallstones. At 12-month follow-up, non-inferiority of restrictive strategy regarding pain improvement was not shown compared with standard of care.1
