It has been usual practice to manage gallstone pancreatitis conservatively over the acute phase and to perform an elective cholecystectomy after an interval of 2-3 months. Because of the risks of recurrent pancreatitis, and in an effort to reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with severe pancreatitis, there has been a trend towards early surgical intervention and, more recently, endoscopic sphincterotomy. From the Greenlane Hospital experience during 1979-1987, and from a review of recent literature, a strategy is proposed for the management of acute gallstone pancreatitis.
