Acute gallstone pancreatitis is the most common cause of acute pancreatitis, and the management depends on its severity. Acute gallstone pancreatitis can be divided into mild or severe acute pancreatitis. The management of acute gallstone pancreatitis can be divided into endoscopic management with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and definitive treatment in the form of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. There is still no consensus on the most appropriate time for performing endoscopic treatment in gallstone pancreatitis and if early or delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be performed. The diagnostic ability of endoscopic ultrasound and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is also discussed. We have conducted this review article to look at the diagnosis and treatment of acute gallstone pancreatitis.
