My Father has been recently diagnosed with gall stone after he exoerienced severe pain. Calculi aizes are 7 mm and 5 mm. After being hospitalized ct scan is also done.
It revealed that pancreas ia mildly bulky, margins are blurred and evidence of pancreatic fat strandings seen.
The ct report suggestions states: Resolving pancreatitis in case of chronic calculus cholesystisis.
My question is should we go for gall stone removal immediately or wait for some time for him to get stable. And what are the risks with this pancreatitis diagnosed?
Kindly suggest. He is under antibiotics now (I.V.) and Creon medicine currently.
