Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial contamination of pancreatic necrosis. A prospective clinical study.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that bacterial contamination of pancreatic necrosis occurs early and frequently, causing a significant increase in morbidity and mortality, particularly when it develops in the initial stages of the attack.
Journal ArticleDOI
Necrosectomy and postoperative local lavage in necrotizing pancreatitis.
TL;DR: Necrosectomy with post-operative continuous local lavage was performed in a prospective study involving 95 patients with necrotizing pancreatitis as discussed by the authors, and the median Ranson criteria score was 4.5 points; operation was required at a median of 7 days after the onset of symptoms because of non-response to conservative treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of pancreas necrosis in severe acute pancreatitis: imaging procedures versus clinical staging.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the contrast enhanced computed tomography is an aid in deciding on conservative or surgical treatment in a case of acute pancreatitis and ultrasound does not appear to be an adequate method for determining pancreatic necrosis.
Book ChapterDOI
Pancreatic Abscess and Infected Pancreatic Necrosis: Different Local Septic Complications in Acute Pancreatitis
TL;DR: The present study delineates the morphologic, clinical, and laboratory criteria needed to distinguish between two separate clinical entities: the infected necrosis (IN) and the pancreatic abscess (PA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Results of surgical treatment of necrotizing pancreatitis.
TL;DR: The clinical course of necrotizing pancreatitis depends essentially on the extent of the necrosis in the pancreas itself, the development of extrapancreatic necrosis, and the bacteriological status of the Necrotic area.
