    Patients with biliary microlithiasis face a high risk of acute pancreatitis, often the steatonecrotic form. Early investigation and radical treatment are crucial for managing this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
    • Surgical Pathology

    Background:

    • Homogeneous biliary microlithiasis is a condition associated with gallstones.
    • Acute pancreatitis is a serious complication that can arise from biliary tract issues.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical and anatomopathological features of secondary acute pancreatitis in patients with homogeneous biliary microlithiasis.
    • To determine the incidence and characteristics of pancreatitis in this specific patient group.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving forty-two patients diagnosed with homogeneous biliary microlithiasis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation and pathological findings related to acute pancreatitis.

    Main Results:

    • A high incidence of acute pancreatitis was observed in patients with biliary microlithiasis.

  • The steatonecrotic form of pancreatitis was identified as the most prevalent.

    • Conclusions:

    • Homogeneous biliary microlithiasis presents a significant risk factor for developing acute pancreatitis.
    • Thorough pre- and intraoperative assessments are vital when biliary microlithiasis is suspected.
    • Radical treatment is recommended for managing biliary microlithiasis to prevent pancreatitis.
