Abstract
Despite rapid economic growth during the last half of the twentieth century, gender inequality has remained high in Korea. Using data from the 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES), previous research found that gender differences in sociostructural and psychosocial factors contributed to a substantial female excess in poor self-rated health. To the extent that women’s overall social status relative to men has improved over time in Korea, it is possible that the gender gap in perceived health has decreased. This study used repeated cross-sectional KNHANES data from 2001-2012 to examine temporal trends in gender differences in self-rated health. In age-adjusted models, we found no significant trend in the female excess of poor self-rated health among respondents aged 25-44 (p=0.685). In contrast, we found a statistically significant downward trend among those aged 45-64 (p<0.001). In fully adjusted models controlling for age and behavioral, sociostructural, and psychosocial covariates, we found a marginally significant upward trend (p=0.08) among younger respondents, while the downward trend among older respondents remained significant (p<0.001). More work is needed to determine why gendered health disparities decreased among older adults in Korea but not among those aged 25-44.

Regarding operative difficulties and complications, 8 patients (32 %) in our results had operative difficulties, 4 of them had acute cholecystitis and gall bladders were aspirated and omental adhesions were relieved by diathermy. 3 patients from this group (12%) had the conversion to open cholecystectomy for CBD exploration
Intra – operative cholangiogram group, 3 patients (12%) were found to have choledocholithiasis, which was diagnosed during intraoperative cholangiogram
Summary
Acute pancreatitis is becoming more common. (1) Acute pancreatitis accounts for 3 percent of all gjhs.ccsenet.orgGlobal Journal of Health ScienceVol 9, No 5; 2017 cases of abdominal pain admitted to hospital. (De Beaux et al, 1995; Trial, 1977; Funnell, Bornman, Weakley, Terblanche, & Marks, 1993) the outcome of acute pancreatitis is determined by two factors which reflect the severity of the illness: organ failure and pancreatic necrosis. (Agarwal & Pitchumoni, 1991; Pasricha, Kalloo, Clavien, Carroli, Phillips, Barritt Iii, & Fan, 1993; De Beaux et al, 1995; Trial, 1977; Funnell, Bornman, Weakley, Terblanche, & Marks, 1993; Gislason, Horn, Hoem, Andrén-Sandberg, Imsland, Søreide, & Viste, 2004) the appropriate management of acute biliary pancreatitis has evolved considerably over the past decades. The optimal approach may vary according to local expertise, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography is the most common
