Sometimes, acute pancreatitis is caused by gallstones that block the duct through which digestive enzymes leave the pancreas. Dr. Bhushan Bhole pancreatic surgeons can perform an endoscopic procedure to remove the blockage, allowing the pancreas to function normally. Our doctors may also perform surgery to relieve severe complications of acute pancreatitides, such as infection and tissue death, also called necrosis. For chronic pancreatitis, surgery may be recommended if chronic inflammation has caused a blockage in the pancreatic ducts. Surgery can help prevent further damage to the pancreas and alleviate symptoms like persistent pain. Pancreatic surgeons at Dr. Bhushan Bhole work as a team with imaging specialists using advanced diagnostic techniques to locate the areas of the pancreas where damage has occurred. For many people, surgery can be performed using minimally invasive, or laparoscopic, techniques, which require smaller incisions. General anesthesia is typically used for all of the following procedures. For acute pancreatitis caused by gallstones lodged in the common bile duct, doctors may perform a procedure called endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography to remove the stones and prevent further inflammation in the pancreas. During the procedure, your doctor glides an endoscope with a tiny video camera on the end through the mouth, down the throat and stomach, and into the small intestine, adjacent to the pancreas. Using the endoscope, your doctor finds an opening in the intestine that connects to the pancreatic and bile ducts. He or she places a catheter or small tube in the opening and injects a contrast dye. The dye enhances images of the pancreatic and bile ducts on X-rays. This helps the doctor identify the gallstones causing the blockage so he or she can remove them.
