Why is it important?
Recognising these different types is helpful in diagnosis. For example, neither is the presence of a gallstone in gallbladder ultrasound is definite proof that the case is GSP, nor is its absence proof that the case is not GSP. It is also helpful in adopting the appropriate management of each type, which may or may not follow British society gastro enterology guidline .
Perspectives
surgeon and gastroenterologist need to be aware that gallstone pancreatitis is more than the classic gall stone pancreatitis and be familiar with this classification.I hope the classification could help better understanding and managemenet of gallstone pancreatitis
