Study Summary

While there exists consensus among surgeons that patients with gallstone pancreatitis should undergo cholecystectomy to prevent recurrence, the precise timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy for mild to moderate disease remains controversial. We hypothesize that laparoscopic cholecystectomy performed within 48 hours of admission, regardless of resolution of abdominal pain or abnormal laboratory values, will result in a shorter hospital stay.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Laparoscopic cholecystectomy within 48 hours of admission
  • PROCEDURE Laparoscopic cholecystectomy after resolution of abdominal pain and laboratory values
