Pancreatitis post quirúrgica: una entidad clínica para recordar / Postoperative pancreatitis: a clinical entity to remember

RESUMEN

Postoperative pancreatitis is a rare entity characterized by the presence of clinical and imagenological pancreatic inflammation after surgery of the near or far gastrointestinal tract. The cause is probably multifactorial, with no preventive measures. Diagnostic dilemma and morbidity and mortality associated with this condition makes this case interesting. We describe the case of a 65 years old female presenting acute pancreatitis attributed to surgery performed 3 days before to resolve intestinal obstruction.
