Brief Summary

In patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis, early cholecystectomy within 48 hours might reduce the risk of recurrent gallstone-related complications, compared with the more commonly used strategy in our locality of conservative management and delayed cholecystectomy. However, evidence to support early cholecystectomy is poor, and concerns exist about an increased risk of cholecystectomy-related complications with this approach. In this study, we aimed to compare the benefits and harms of early versus delayed cholecystectomy in patients with mild biliary pancreatitis.
