title: [Acute necrotizing and hemorrhagic pancreatitis as a surgical problem].
abstract: The authors have analysed 235 patients suffering of acute pancreatitis. From that number 42 sick persons had severe pancreatitis with necrosis and hemorrhage. Mortality in this group was 83%. Mortality of the patients who were under the non-operative (conservative) therapy was 95%, and in the same time mortality of the patients who were treated surgically was 72%. Based upon their own experiences, the authors consider that patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis have to be treated surgically, when there's not change for the better by shock and improvement of patient's condition, when one has respiratory or cardiovasculary distresses, or when electrolytic disbalance is present, in these cases the operation has to be done 48 hours from the beginning of illness. Good drainage to peripancreatic and retroperitonel areas by sump drainage is the most essential part of action, wery useful are cholecystostomy, gastrostomy and jejunostomy.
