Biliary pancreatitis (BP) is a common pathology associated with cholelithiasis. Cholecystectomy is the main method of preventing relapses, but the question of its optimal timing and methods remains open. The article considers modern approaches to choosing the time of surgical intervention, compares laparoscopic and open techniques, and discusses the role of endoscopic interventions in the treatment of biliary pancreatitis.
