10.) In the patient with biliary pancreatitis, how will you manage the gallstones?
|
In the patient with biliary pancreatitis who resolves with medical management, laparoscopic cholecystectomy and intraoperative cholangiogram should be done during the same admission. If biliary pancreatitis is associated with persistent symptoms and abnormal liver function tests or cholangitis, ERCP is indicated to clear the duct of stones.
