Abstract
Gallstone pancreatitis is a serious complication of gallstone disease. Early diagnosis is pivotal. History, laboratory tests and CECT are diagnostic. Severity assessment is necessary for planning optimum aggressive management. ERCP is indicated in patients of biliary pancreatitis with obstructed CBD stones complicated by cholangitis. Cholecystectomy is indicated after inflammatory markers have normalised suggesting the resolution of pancreatitis. It is advisable that cholecystectomy be done preferably during the index admission.
