INTRODUCTION: In this study it was evaluated the demografic features, etiological factors and the management of acute pancreatitis. METHODS: 110 patients hospitalized due to acute pancreatitis were retrospectively examined. The data of gender, disease severity, treatment options and complications were analysed. RESULTS: The mean age of patients were 60.3 (43 men and 67 women). The causes of acute pancreatitis were as follows: gallbladder stone was 89, hyperlipidemia was 5 and idiopathic was 16 patients. Severe pancreatitis was developed in 2 patients in the biliary pancreatitis group and ERCP was performed. Cholecystectomy was performed to all biliary pancreatitis group patients after acute pancreatitis subside. The mean hospital stay period was 5.31 (1-18) day. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Severe acute pancreatitis is a mortal disease. The most common etiological cause of acute pancreatitis is biliary origin. The first line treatment modality of acute pancreatitis is medical. Cholecystectomy should be planned to the all biliary caused acute pancreatitis patients after the attack subside. ERCP is a useful treatment modality in the case of clinical worsening and suspicion of acute cholangitis. ERCP procedure used 2 patients in our series. We suppose that ERCP procedure should be planned selectively and conservatively.
