Bacterial Infection of Pancreatic Necrosis

1987
Parts of the results of our prospective clinical trial concerning the role of bacterial infection in necrotizing pancreatitis have been described elsewhere in this book [3]. Further evaluation of these data makes possible a contribution to the search for indications for operation in necrotizing pancreatitis.

Retroperitoneoscopy in the management of drained infected pancreatic necrosis

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2001
Bacterial infection secondary to pancreatic necrosis occurs in 40% to 70% of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.1 When infected pancreatic necrosis is present, as demonstrated by CT and detection of bacteria on needle aspiration of the necrotic area,2 surgical drainage is indicated via either the transperitoneal3 or extraperitoneal translumbar ...

Pancreatic Necrosis and Infections in Patients With Acute Pancreatitis

2005
The majority of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) have a mild “edematous” form of the disease with a self-limited course devoid of serious local or systemic sequelae. However, in 3–5% of patients (10–20% in tertiary referral centers), a more severe form involving pancreatic and/or peripancreatic necrosis occurs. Necrotizing pancreatitis is the most

Progress in the Management and Treatment of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1998
Infected pancreatic necrosis and sepsis are the leading causes of mortality in necrotizing pancreatitis. A review has been undertaken of the results of the past two decades relating to different surgical treatments of infected pancreatic necrosis. During the period 1978-85, the surgical treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis and its complications in our

Current Surgical Management of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

The American Surgeon™, 2010
Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) continues to be a challenging problem for the surgeon. We reviewed the experience on a hepatobiliary surgical service with patients who required operative intervention for IPN with emphasis on surgical approach, timing of surgery, and complications. Between 2002 and 2008, 21 patients underwent surgery for IPN.

The Efficacy of Nonsurgical Treatment of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

Pancreas, 2007
We conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of nonsurgical treatment for patients with infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN).Among 224 patients with acute pancreatitis from 2000 to 2004, there were 31 patients diagnosed as having IPN complication. The diagnostic criteria for IPN were either a positive culture or free gas in the pancreas of patients ...

Clinical regression of infected pancreatic necrosis

International journal of pancreatology, 1991
Infected pancreatic necrosis was diagnosed clinically and radiologically in a patient admitted for acute pancreatitis. As free gas in the pancreatic area was recognized, antibiotic therapy (ceftriaxone) was empirically introduced, while surgical drainage was being planned. After the second week, the patient rapidly started to improve, to the point that

Management of Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

2004
Pancreatic necrosis occurs in 10–20% of patients presenting with acute pancreatitis.1 Attitudes to the surgical approach to this have changed greatly in the last decade, and the role of surgical drainage is gradually evolving. Of those patients that die following an attack of severe acute pancreatitis, over half will succumb to overwhelming early organ

Infected pancreatic necrosis—Current trends in management

Indian Journal of Gastroenterology
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a common gastrointestinal disease requiring hospitalization and multiple interventions resulting in higher morbidity and mortality. Development of infection in such necrotic tissue is one of the sentinel events in natural history of necrotizing pancreatitis.

Infected Pancreatic Necrosis Increases the Severity of Experimental Necrotizing Pancreatitis in Mice

Pancreas, 2013
Infection of pancreatic necrosis in necrotizing pancreatitis increases the lethality of patients with acute pancreatitis. To examine mechanisms underlying this clinical observation, we developed and tested a model, in which primary infection of necrosis is achieved in taurocholate-induced pancreatitis in mice.Sterile necrosis of acute necrotizing ...
