Abstract:

Aim: To determine the surgical outcome of early cholecystectomy in subjects suffering from acute biliary-pancreatitis. Study design: Descriptive cases-series. Setting & duration: Sheikh Zayed Hospital. Rahim Yar Khan, from 01-01-2018 to 15-10-2018. Methodology: In this study the cases with age > 30 year of either gender that had acute biliary pancreatitis due to background history of gall stones were included. Early cholecystectomy was done and were followed for various surgical outcomes. Results: In this study, 55 cases were enrolled and the mean age of the subjects was 47.51±5.23 years. There were 32(58.19%) female subjects and 8(14.55%) had history of DM and 9(16.36%) had history of HTN. Overall complications were seen in 13(23.64%) of cases with overlapping of more than one. Most common one was prolong length of stay in hospital which was observed in 10(18.18%), followed by prolong surgical duration seen in 5 (9.09%) subjects. Conclusion: Acute biliary pancreatitis followed by early cholecystectomy is not devoid of complications and the most common one is prolong length of hospital stay.
