Tse F, YuanY. Several trials have been performed to determine the benefit of early ERCP in pancreatitis, yet the results of these studies are inconsistent. The use of sphincterotomy should be supported with citations. ERCP is for Acute Cholangitis. CONTEXT: The utility of early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) ± endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) in the treatment of gallstone pancreatitis (GSP) is still contentious. (1) This condition can be quite painful, and its seriousness can range from mild to potentially dangerous. The American College of Gastroenterology recommends urgent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (within 24 h) for patients with biliary pancreatitis accompanied by cholangitis. Also 1.Cholecystectomy in all three conditions at appropriate times- acute cholecystitis, choledocholithiasis and gallstone pancreatitis; ideally within 72 hours. cases of gallstone pancreatitis is to do early ERCP and sphincterotomy which makes the timing of the chole-cystectomy more flexible, since presumably these pa-tients are at low risk of recurrent gallstone pancreati-tis.

Introduction Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the third most common gastroenterology-related indication for hospitalization in the United States, with approximate 270,000 hospital admissions per year and increasing since 2000 RCTs comparing the early routine ERCP strategy versus the early conservative management with or without selective use of ERCP strategy in patients with suspected acute gallstone pancreatitis. Most patients with biliary pancreatitis, regardless of the predicted severity, do not benefit from ERCP, with or without sphincterotomy. Early treatment at the first sign of trouble is recommended to minimize the damage and pain and also to prevent . However, more studies are needed. CLINICAL EVIDENCE The role and timing of ERCP in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis has long been contro-versial. Doctors use ERCP to treat both acute and chronic pancreatitis. 31. N Engl J Med 1997;336:1835-6. It is uncertain whether or not early surgical or endoscopic removal of gallstones is beneficial in mild gallstone associated acute pancreatitis (GAP). Acute pancreatitis occurs in 0.05% to 8.6% of patients with gallstone disease, and its incidence in the United States seems to be increasing. Guidelines recommend urgent ERCP in patients with gallstone pancreatitis with concomitant cholangitis and suggest that ERCP might be beneficial in patients with cholestasis but without cholangitis. Pancreatitis leads to more than 300,000 inpatient admissions and 20,000 deaths annually, with costs exceeding $2.2 billion per year. Study selection. We cited Dr. Acosta's work2 that suggested that patients with persistent ampullary obstruction (>48 h) in the setting of gallstone pancreatitis .

In 2014, acute pancreatitis was the third most common diagnosis for patients admitted to the hospital with a gastrointestinal illness, accounting for approximately 280,000 cases and costing $2.6 billion [1]. 8 , 10 , 11 , 12 The study adds to the slow-growing knowledge of evidence supporting advantages and disadvantages from the use of this . Your gastroenterologist may use ERCP to remove gallstones blocking the bile or pancreatic ducts. Most international guidelines recommend that ERCP be performed within 72 h in patients . uneventfully. Acute pancreatitis is one of the most common causes for hospitalization and for readmissions in the United States. A 74-year-old man is admitted to the hospital with acute gallstone pancreatitis without evidence of coexisting ascending cholangitis or biliary obstruction. There are two main types: acute pancreatitis, and chronic pancreatitis.

Conservative treatment is recommended, with the option of removing the obstructing stone if his condition worsens. According to these guidelines, early ERCP should be performed in patients with cholangitis or when there is suspicion of persistent common bile duct stone (a dilated common bile duct or visible common bile duct stone, or jaundice or persistently abnormal liver chemistry values). The indications for early endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in gallstone pancreatitis are unclear, and the examination is often requested or performed without substantial supporting evidence. 1-6 Many institutions delay laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for mild GSP until normalization of laboratory values and resolution of abdominal pain, fearing early surgery may increase complications. The evidence reviewed would support that . 11-15 Although most episodes of GSP are mild, the morbidity and mortality associated with severe pancreatitis have influenced the approach to surgical management of all gallstone-related diseases. In addition, few patients with mild pancreatitis benefit from the procedure, whereas some studies indicate that patients with severe pancreatitis or documented biliary obstruction may experience fewer complications if ERCP is performed. JOP 2009;10: 299-305. However, early ERCP may be beneficial in patients who have infection of the bile duct or bile duct blockage. The pancreas is a large organ behind the stomach that produces digestive enzymes and a number of hormones. of post-ERCP pancreatitis in both high-risk and low-risk patients and has been shown to be more cost-effective than prophylactic pancreatic stent placement.2-5 Data are lacking from randomized trials to guide the use of these tools in patients with gallstone pancreatitis, and there are unlikely to be any such trials, given the obvious difficulty in 15% to 25% [6]. In our evidence-based review,1 we examined the body of literature supporting or detracting from the use of ERCP in gallstone pancreatitis with particular emphasis on whom the procedure should be performed, and if so, when it should be performed. ERCP plays an expanding role in both the diagnosis and therapy of acute and relapsing pancreatitis of various etiologies. Objective We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the effect of early ERCP on the morbidity and mortality of acute gallstone pancreatitis without cholangitis. 32 reviewed 11 RCTs and showed non significant decrease in overall complications of early ERCP in MGP (OR 0.67; 95%CI: 0.43-1.03).
