ABSTRACT
In the report a new modified technique of complicated pancreatitis treatment by laparostomy was showed. In included the use of ultrasound dissector for removing necrotic tissues and locating of garamycin sponge which should protect against secondary infection. Between January and May 1998 12 patients were treated using this method. In 8 cases (66%) we obtained rapid improvement of patients' general condition. One patient died and in 6 cases postoperative complications occurred. The use of ultrasound dissector shortens time of necrotic demarcation in pancreas and peripancreatic tissues. Garamycin sponge is effective protection from late infections concerning laparostomic wound. Modified laparostomy decreases about 50% number of secondary re-laparostomies, period of hospitalization and cost of complications treatment in acute pancreatitis in comparison with conventional method.
