Key takeaways
- Conservative management with antibiotics is appropriate for neutropenic/thrombocytopenic patients with biliary stones
- Cholecystectomy timing should be based on clinical improvement, not complete biochemical normalization
- Gallstone pancreatitis requires different management approach than typical choledocholithiasis
- Early ERCP coordination with IOC is critical in determining optimal intervention timing
- Clinical status drives surgical decision-making more than laboratory values in pediatric gallstone pancreatitis
