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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Lactobacillus plantarum Reduces Infection of Pancreatic Necrosis in Experimental Acute Pancreatitis

Digestive Surgery, 2001
<i>Background: </i>Infection is the commonest cause of death in acute pancreatitis. Early reduction of commensal flora (particularly <i>Lactobacillus </i>species) and, at the same time, overgrowth of <i>Enterobacteriaceae, </i>especially <i>Escherichia coli</i>, have recently been described during acute ...
