[Evolution of views of the surgical treatment of acute destructive pancreatitis].

An analysis of results of surgical treatment of 468 patients with acute pancreatitis has shown how the views of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with acute pancreatitis have been changing for the recent 10 years. Using the optimized therapy-diagnosis doctrine including the procalcitonin test for diagnosing of the extent and infection of the destruction process in the pancreas and cellular spaces, pathogenetically directed conservative therapy using various methods of extracorporal detoxication, refusal of early wide surgery, using the methods of little invasive surgery and step-by-step sanitations with ultrasonic cavitation resulted in decreased postoperative lethality from 23.9% to 6.7%.
