Core Tip

Core Tip: Gallstone pancreatitis is the leading cause of acute pancreatitis, accounting for more than 40% of cases. Etiological treatment is a critical issue in acute biliary pancreatitis as it helps reduce the risk of recurrence. This review aims to determine the role and timing of cholecystectomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the management of acute biliary pancreatitis in the general population. Special attention will also be given to the care of frail and elderly patients, a group frequently affected by this condition.
