  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Medicine

Background:

  • Gallstone pancreatitis is a prevalent cause of acute pancreatitis globally.
  • It represents a significant and treatable cause of this condition, necessitating prompt recognition and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To differentiate clinically between the three forms of gallstone pancreatitis: impacted, non-impacted, and sludge-related.
  • To elucidate the unique features of each form concerning pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • This review synthesizes current knowledge on gallstone pancreatitis.
  • Focuses on clinical differentiation and unique aspects of each disease subtype.

Main Results:

  • Gallstone pancreatitis presents in three distinct forms: impacted, non-impacted, and sludge-related.
