Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Clinical Management

Background:

  • Acute pancreatitis carries high mortality, necessitating optimized treatment protocols.
  • Laparoscopic surgery offers potential benefits in reducing hospital stay and recovery time.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes in acute pancreatitis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic surgery in managing acute biliary pancreatitis.
  • To compare outcomes between early laparoscopic intervention and delayed surgical treatment.
  • To assess the role of preoperative ERCP in the management of acute biliary pancreatitis.

Main Methods:

  • 73 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis were classified using Ranson criteria.

  • Mild-moderate cases underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy within seven days.
  • Severe cases received medical treatment followed by surgery between 8-30 days; no preoperative ERCP was performed.

    • Main Results:

    • Laparoscopic treatment for mild-moderate acute biliary pancreatitis showed low morbidity (6.3%) and mortality (1.5%).
    • Mean hospital stay was 7.4 days for early laparoscopic intervention versus 8.2 days for delayed surgery.
    • Main biliary tract calculosis was identified in 8.2% of cases, successfully treated laparoscopically.

    Conclusions:

    • The study supports laparoscopic management for mild-moderate acute biliary pancreatitis, aligning with current literature.
    • Further investigation with a larger cohort of severe biliary pancreatitis cases is recommended to clarify the role of ERCP.
    • Laparoscopic surgery demonstrates favorable outcomes in terms of morbidity, mortality, and hospital stay for selected patients.
