Hi,
Calculi in the gallbladder has moved through common bile duct into pancreatic duct causing pancreatitis, as pancreatitis is a medical emergency. Yes urgent surgery should be done to remove the calculi. Pancreatitis is a medical emergency and follow the instructions of your surgeon, operation should be done as early as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ramesh Kumar
