SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF ACUTE PANCREATITIS

Page 2: ACUTE PANCREATITIS · for the most of the deaths of acute pancreatitis patients. • Unresolved issues in the management of this condition. • Open necrosectomy is still the standard

INTRODUCTION

• A very common disease with increasing incidence over past

20 years.

• All age groups and both genders vulnerable.

• Multiple causes.

• Highly variable disease course.

• High mortality rates even in the centers of excellence .

• Difficult to standardize the treatment options.

should be paid to avoid injury to the middle colic artery.

To conclude……

• Necrotizing pancreatitis though less common is responsible

for the most of the deaths of acute pancreatitis patients.

• Unresolved issues in the management of this condition.

• Open necrosectomy is still the standard of care but is

associated with high mortality and morbidity.

• Minimal access interventions give some hope.
