    Postoperative pancreatitis is a significant risk following biliary tract operations, particularly common duct exploration. Early intervention and risk factor assessment are crucial for managing this complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Pancreatitis is a significant complication following biliary tract operations.
    • Understanding risk factors is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the incidence and risk factors of postoperative pancreatitis after biliary tract operations.
    • To assess the impact of various surgical procedures on pancreatitis development.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1256 patients undergoing biliary tract operations.
    • Evaluation of preoperative pancreatic dysfunction and operative risk factors.
    • Assessment of postoperative hyperamylasemia and pancreatitis.

    Main Results:

    • Cholecystectomy had a 0.6% incidence of postoperative pancreatitis, while common duct exploration had an 8.4% incidence.

  • Operative cholangiography did not induce pancreatitis.
  • Pancreatitis incidence was similar for common duct exploration alone versus with additional procedures like choledochoscopy or sphincteroplasty.

    • Conclusions:

    • Common duct exploration carries a significantly higher risk of postoperative pancreatitis compared to cholecystectomy.
    • Specific operative factors like choledochoscopy, sphincteroplasty, or choledochoduodenostomy did not independently increase pancreatitis risk.
    • Minimizing pancreatitis occurrence and development is essential in biliary tract surgery.
