Surgery in the Treatment of Acute Pancreatitis Minimal Access Pancreatic Necrosectomy

Pancreatic Metastasis of Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma Presenting as Acute Pancreatitis

Minimally invasive retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy in necrotising pancreatitis.

With the marriage of surgery and technology, applications of minimal access surgery are increasing exponentially. Pancreatic diseases are no exception. Minimally invasive retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy (MIRP), or percutaneous video-assisted necrosectomy, is a new technique to debride the necrotic pancreas. We report a 51- year-old male patient who successfully underwent MIRP for infect...

Minimal access retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy: improvement in morbidity and mortality with a less invasive approach.

OBJECTIVE Comparison of minimal access retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy (MARPN) versus open necrosectomy in the treatment of infected or nonresolving pancreatic necrosis. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Infected pancreatic necrosis may lead to progressive organ failure and death. Minimal access techniques have been developed in an attempt to reduce the high mortality of open necrosectomy. ...

Persistent pancreatic fistula after surgical necrosectomy for severe pancreatitis.

Severe pancreatitis in surgical stage is often complicated with external pancreatic fistula. This disease seems to have a different outcome comparing to postoperative fistula due to inflammation and local anatomical conditions. The paper presents a case of external fistula following necrosectomy, where the conservative treatment failed and a late surgical procedure was required, fistulojejunost...

Minimally invasive retroperitoneal necrosectomy in management of acute necrotizing pancreatitis

INTRODUCTION One of the most important requirements in treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis is minimized invasion. AIM We are presenting experience in treatment of acute necrotizing pancreatitis by an original minimally invasive retroperitoneal necrosectomy technique, comparing our results to other studies, evaluating feasibility and safety, discussing advantages and disadvantages of t...
