The findings ought to be corelated your pancreatitis and there is a possibility they are related and the GB removal might help

If you had pancreatitis due to a common bile duct stone from your gallbladder, you need to Be evaluated to see if any further stones are still present in the bile duct. It is very likely that you should have your gallbladder removed. Urso alone would not be effective in that setting. See your primary doctor or a gastroenterologist for advice. good luck.
