A Step-up Approach, or Open Necrosectomy for Necrotizing Pancreatitis [PDF]
Necrotizing pancreatitis with infected necrotic tissue is associated with a high rate of complications and death. Standard treatment is open necrosectomy. The outcome may be improved by a minimally invasive step-up approach.In this multicenter study, we randomly assigned 88 patients with necrotizing pancreatitis and suspected or confirmed infected ...
