Acute biliary pancreatitis, a severe gallstone complication, is typically diagnosed clinically and biologically. Treatment involves ERCP for obstruction, followed by cholecystectomy after recovery, avoiding prophylactic antibiotics.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • Acute biliary pancreatitis represents the most severe complication arising from gallstones.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and patient outcomes.
  • Current evidence guides therapeutic strategies, emphasizing timely interventions.

Purpose:

  • To outline the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for acute biliary pancreatitis.
  • To clarify the role of imaging, endoscopic procedures, and surgical interventions.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for managing gallstone-induced pancreatitis.

Summary:

  • Diagnosis is primarily clinical and biological, with CT scans aiding differential diagnosis.
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended for preventing pancreatic necrosis infection.

  • ERCP and sphincterotomy are indicated for cholangitis and biliary obstruction; elective cholecystectomy follows complication resolution.
  • Management involves endoscopy or radiology, with surgery reserved for specific cases.

    • Impact:

    • Optimized patient management pathways for acute biliary pancreatitis.
    • Reduced unnecessary interventions and improved resource allocation.
    • Enhanced understanding of evidence-based treatment protocols for gallstone complications.
