Abstract
Pancreas divisum is a genetic defect associated with recurrent acu- pancreatitis due to insufficient drainage of the accessory pancreatic duct. Seven young patients diagnosed with pancreatic divisum and thickening of the gallbladder bile as shown on magnetic resonance cho- langio-pancreatography without pancreatic ductal changes underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy. During the mean follow-up of 32 months no episode of pancreatitis was reported. There is an association between PD and higher concentration of bile in the gallbladder. Cholecystec- tomy can be considered curative in patients with PD in the absence of indications for major surger| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
