A retroperitoneal approach for infected pancreatic necrosis

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2012
Acute pancreatitis remains associated with a high rate of complication and death. The surgery strategy for proven or suspected infected necrosis is controversial.The present study reviews the medical records of 9,421 patients admitted with the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis from 2002 to 2009.The medical records of 9,421 admitted patients diagnosed ...

Is Severity of Necrotizing Pancreatitis Increased in Extended Necrosis and Infected Necrosis?

Pancreas, 2002
We previously reported that organ failure occurs in 50% of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, that extended pancreatic necrosis (greater than 50% necrosis) is not associated with an increased prevalence of organ failure or infected necrosis, and that the prevalence of organ failure is similar in sterile necrosis and infected necrosis.

Pancreatic abscess and infected pancreatic necrosis

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 1987
Local septic complications in acute pancreatitis need to be exactly characterized and defined in order to develop improved concepts for their prevention, early diagnosis, and therapy. While up to now all local septic complications have been termed abscesses, the present study for the first time delineates the morphologic, clinical, and laboratory ...

Infected Necrosis and Pancreatic Abscess

2002
Infected necrosis (IN) and pancreatic abscess (PA) are septic complications of acute pancreatitis (AP), and are characterised by a severe prognosis and high mortality rates (20–40%). The overall incidence is 3–8% and can reach 60% in cases of acute necrotizing pancreatitis.

Minimally Invasive Debridement for Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery, 2019
Necrotizing pancreatitis has historically been treated with open necrosectomy, which carries a high morbidity and mortality rate. More recently, there has been a shift towards endoscopic and percutaneous approaches employed as part of a minimally invasive step-up approach.

[Treatment of pancreatic necrosis and secondary pancreatic infections].

Chirurgia italiana, 2002
Acute pancreatitis is a disease capable of the widest clinical expression, ranging from mild discomfort to multiorgan failure and death. Moreover, the process may remain localized in the pancreas, or spread to regional tissues, or even involve remote organs.

Sterile and Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

2014
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a complication of acute pancreatitis that carries high morbidity and mortality. The majority of patients have sterile necrosis, which can be managed conservatively. However, in contrast, patients with infected necrosis often require drainage or debridement.

Diagnosis of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

1997
No more than a decade ago, the whole issue of the clinical significance, diagnosis, therapy and prevention of infected pancreatic necrosis was only barely perceived by pancreatologists. It was only as recently as 1986 and 1987 that two elegant prospective studies were published by Beger et al. [1] and Gerzof et al.

Laparoscopic transgastric pancreatic necrosectomy for infected pancreatic necrosis

Surgical Endoscopy, 2003
Secondary infection of pancreatic necrosis is an indication for surgical debridement, and has traditionally been treated by laparotomy, and more recently by laparoscopic transmesocolic or transgastrocolic and retroperitoneoscopic approaches. This report describes and evaluates the safety and feasibility of a laparoscopic transgastric approach to ...
