AbstractBackground and Study Aim: Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) or cholecystectomy can prevent recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) in patients with gallstone-related pancreatitis. However, it is unknown whether cholecystectomy after ES offers additional benefit in preventing RAP in these patients. This is a retrospective study to assess whether cholecystectomy can decrease the incidence of RAP in patients with gallstone-related pancreatitis. Patients and Methods: Records from 139 patients with gallstone-related pancreatitis were analyzed. Of these, 58 patients had gallbladder stones with concomitant common bile duct (CBD) stones and 81 patients had gallbladder stones without CBD stones. Of the 58 patients who had both gallbladder and CBD stones, 37 (63.8%) did not undergo cholecystectomy after ES (group 1) and 21 patients (36.2%) did undergo cholecystectomy after ES (group 2). Of the 81 patients who had gallbladder stones but who did not have CBD stones, 54 (66.7%) did not undergo cholecystectomy (group 3) and 27 (33.3%) did undergo cholecystectomy (group 4). Results: At the time of analysis, three patients (8.1%) in group 1 and three patients (14.3%) in group 2 developed RAP. There was no significant difference in the estimated probability of occurrence of RAP over time between group 1 and group 2 (P= 0.41). However, there was a significantly higher probability of patients developing RAP over time in group 3 compared with group 4 (6/54 vs. 0/27 respectively, P = 0.04). Conclusion: In patients with gallbladder stones without CBD stones, cholecystectomy can decrease the incidence of RAP. In patients with both gallbladder and CBD stones, however, the risk of RAP was not further reduced by cholecystectomy after ES and complete removal of CBD stones. © Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
