Progress in surgical treatment for severe acute pancreatitis complicated with abdominal compartment syndrome / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Acute pancreatitis is a clinically common acute abdomen, mild acute pancreatitis is a self-limiting disease, while severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) requires multidisciplinary treatment and the mortality rate remains high. A special complication of SAP is intra-abdominal hypertension, as the disease progresses, the intra-abdominal pressure is further increased, leading to abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS), which eventually leads to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. This current surgical intervention for SAP combined with ACS has gradually replaced the conventional medical treatment program. This article reviews the various options for surgical treatment of SAP with ACS.
