Guest guest Posted September 11, 2002 Report Share Posted September 11, 2002 In gallstone Pancreatitis, a laparoscopy does not guarantee that you will not have another attack. It is possible that a stone may already be in the Duct of Odi and continue to the Pancreas. This happened to a friend of mine. When I got Pancreatitis, it was just a few monts following a jpouch operation that left a ton of scar tissue from the top of my belly to my groin. Because of that, I had to have the traditional surgery and receive another impressive scar. The good news is that I have had no problems with my Pancreatitis since although it isn't normal yet and may never be so. Just another point of view. -stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One such stone must have triggered my pancreatitis even before the surgery. An ERCP was not done prior to my operation. Perhaps that would have prevented what I've been going through these past nine years. -Ellen Grove lin Square, NY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
