[Hemorrhagic necrotic acute pancreatitis: analysis of our case series in the light of the most recent diagnostic and therapeutic criteria].

Le résumé fourni par la source

During the period between 1-1-1979 and 30-9-1992, 43 cases of hemorrhagic necrotic acute pancreatitis were referred to the authors' attention. Six patients were not operated, 12 underwent emergency surgery and laparotomy was postponed in 25 cases. The introduction of sophisticated diagnostic methods, such as Eco, CT, ERCP, intensive medical therapy and postoperative NPT have allowed a more rational surgical approach in terms of timing and extent to be adopted, operating on patients who are metabolically more stable. NPT is a useful tool in the latter postoperative stage. In the series of patients undergoing emergency laparotomy there was a mortality rate of 66%. The mortality rate fell to 16% in those patients in whom surgery was postponed.
