Gallstone pancreatitis: biliary tract pathology in relation to time of operation

Annals of Surgery
H H StoneW E Dunlop

Abstract

During a 29-month trial, 65 patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis were randomly selected for biliary tract explorations either within 73 hours of admission (36 patients) or at three months following remission with nonoperative measures (29 patients, with five others awaiting elective operation). The details of surgery were identical, i.e., cholecystectomy, transduodenal sphincteroplasty, and pancreatic duct septotomy. Major bile ducts were cleared of stones by Fogarty catheter passage up the sphincteroplasty. At early operation, pancreatitis was in the acute edematous form in 29 patients, necrotizing in six, and hemorrhagic in one. Acute inflammatory changes were also noticed in three patients who underwent late operation. The locations of the gallstones in patients undergoing early versus delayed operations were, respectively: 97% and 100% in gallbladder, 75% and 28% within common or hepatic ducts (p < 0.02), and 31% and 0% free in duodenum (p < 0.01). The distal choledochus and ampulla were inflamed in 89% of the patients who underwent early operations, but in merely 17% operated upon electively (p < 0.01). Concomitant acute cholecystitis was present in 31% of the patients if surgery was performed during the initial admi...Continue Reading
