The objective was to improve the management of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis against the background of cholecystocholedocholithiasis.Methods and materials. 107 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis against the background of cholecystocholedocholithiasis were treated between 2017 and 2020 years. Patients suffering from mild and moderately severe acute biliary pancreatitis underwent single-step (laparoscopic cholecystectomy with endoscopic papillosphincterotomy) or two-step (endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy) surgical interventions. Patients with severe acute pancreatitis underwent endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with or without common bile duct and pancreatic duct stenting. The comparative analysis was made to estimate the efficiency of different surgical interventions in different groups of patients.Results. Patients with mild or moderately severe acute biliary pancreatitis showed better outcomes after single-step surgical intervention. Patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis – after endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with common bile duct and pancreatic duct stenting.Conclusion. Single-step surgical interventions (laparoscopic cholecystectomy with endoscopic papillosphincterotomy) are shown for patients with mild or moderately severe acute biliary pancreatitis, because this approach helps to preserve the complications, specific for two-step interventions. The single-step approach authentically helps to decrease the duration of hospital stay and reduce treatment costs. The two-step approach is shown for patients with severe acute biliary pancreatitis, but endoscopic papillosphincterotomy with lithoextraction should be supplemented by common bile duct and pancreatic duct stenting, in order to reduce the number of complications associated with delayed cholecystectomy.

Several studies addressed that preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) for common bile duct (CBD) clearance, followed by interval laparoscopic cholecystectomy (two-stage approach), constitutes the most common practice in cases of uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis. Between June 1998 and December 2002, 44 patients (35 females and 9 males with a median age of 62 years) suffering from uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis were treated in our unit. All patients were electively submitted to surgery after subsidence of the acute symptoms, and for definitive treatment we favored the single-stage laparoscopic management, avoiding preoperative ERCP. All patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy plus fluoroscopic intraoperative cholangiogram (IOC). If filling defect(s) were detected in the IOC, a finding suggestive of concomitant choledocholithiasis, laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) was added in the same sitting. Twenty patients were operated upon within 2 weeks since the attack of the acute symptoms and constitute the early group (n = 20), whereas 24 patients underwent an operation later on and constitute the delay group (n = 24). We retrospectively compare the safety, effectiveness, and outcome after the single-stage laparoscopic management between the two groups of patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy alone constituted the definitive treatment in 38 patients, while an additional LCBDE was performed in the remaining 6 patients (14%), and all operations were achieved laparoscopically. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of operative time, incidence of concomitant choledocholithiasis, morbidity rate, and postoperative hospital stay. During the follow-up, none of the patients experienced recurrent pancreatitis. In uncomplicated mild acute biliary pancreatitis cases, a single-stage definitive laparoscopic management, avoiding preoperative ERCP, can be safely performed during the same admission, after the improvement of symptoms and local inflammation. Postoperative ERCP should be selectively used in patients in whom the single-stage method failed to resolve the problem.

Background: Standard recommendations for patients recovering from an episode of biliary pancreatitis include cholecystectomy with intra operative cholangiogram or ERCP during the same hospital admission as it is believed that the instigating factor is the passage of stones through the common bile duct. As ERCP is not widely available and expensive, cholecystectomy with IOC is routinely performed to rule out choledocholithiasis. However detection of common bile duct stones is challenging. Whether these patients undergoing cholecystectomy require direct common bile duct evaluation is controversial.Objectives: To see the presence of common bile duct stones in patients with resolving acute mild biliary pancreatitis.Materials and Methods: Patients admitted in the surgical ward in Patan and Bir hospital with the diagnosis of mild acute biliary pancreatitis that underwent cholecystectomy with intra operative cholangiography from August 2010 to July 2011 were studied. The outcome of cholangiogram was analyzed together with findings of Common bile duct exploration.Result and Conclusion: A total of 52 patients with acute mild biliary pancreatitis were operated during this period. The Common bile duct stone was found in 1.9%. Out of four patients with abnormal cholangiogram, only one patient (25%) had stone on exploration, rest of the three cases (75%) had negative exploration. The presence of common bile duct stone in case of mild acute biliary pancreatitis undergoing cholecystectomy is very low (1.96%), and thus policy of selective IOC should be applied for cases with mild biliary pancreatitis.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.15(4) 2016 p.517-521

Background: World widely, the annual incidence of acute pancreatitis ranges from 5 to 50 per 100000. The major cause of acute pancreatitis is biliary calculi, which occur in 50-70% of patients. Aim of this study is to evaluate Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio-Pancreatography (ERCP) and Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) as a single step management of early acute biliary pancreatitis.Methods: A prospective study included 25 patients complaining of acute biliary pancreatitis. The study was done between December 2012 and February 2016 at Menofia University Hospital. All patients had acute biliary pancreatitis with obstructive jaundice proved by laboratory investigations and imaging. ERCP and LC in the same session were aimed in all patients. Results: Successful same session was done in 24 (96%) cases and 1 (4%) case failed (just had ERCP only). Twenty cases (80%) were females and five cases (20%) were males. By ERCP, multiple small stones were extracted in 15 (60%) cases, biliary mud in 3 (12%) cases, a big stone in 2 (8%) cases and no stones were extracted in 5 (20%) cases. During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, bile stained ascites was present in 15 (60%) cases and absent in 9 (36%) cases. Calcium soap in 7 (28%) cases and absent in 17 (68%) cases. 17 (68%) patients stayed 24 hours in hospital while 6 (24%) patients stayed 48 hours and 2 (8%) cases stayed 72 hours. No mortality was recorded.Conclusions: ERCP and LC as a single step is a good option for management of early acute biliary pancreatitis.
