    Ultrasonography is valuable for diagnosing obstructive jaundice caused by pancreatitis. This study outlines surgical criteria and preferred operations for affected patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
    • Diagnostic Imaging

    Background:

    • Obstructive jaundice can arise from pancreatitis and its complications, necessitating accurate diagnosis and timely intervention.
    • Effective management strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes in cases of pancreatitis-induced biliary obstruction.

    Observation:

    • This study describes twelve patients presenting with obstructive jaundice directly linked to pancreatitis.
    • Ultrasonography was employed to evaluate the severity and cause of biliary obstruction in these patients.

    Findings:

    • Ultrasonography demonstrated significant value in diagnosing obstructive jaundice secondary to pancreatitis.
    • Specific criteria for surgical intervention were identified, guiding treatment decisions.

    Implications:
