ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of endoscopic treatment for acute biliary pancreatitis. Methods Thirty-six cases of acute biliary pancreatitis were treated in our hospital in recent 4 years. Tweent cases (group E) underwent emergency endoscopic retrograde cholongiopancreatography(ERCP),endoscopic sphincterotomy(EST) and endoscopic naso-biliary drainage (ENBD) within 24h of hospitalization; 16 cases (group C ) were treated conservatively or by operation. Results Successful rate of endoscopic management was 95.24%. There were no severe complications nor mortality in group E. The duration of symptoms and hospitalization in endoscopic group was significantly shorter than those in group C(P0.05). But the serum and urine amylase in group E were significantly lower than those in group C in the second day(P
