[Acute pancreatitis. Seventy-one cases ].
This article reviews 71 cases of acute pancreatitis on the basis of 153 criteria. All the patients concerned underwent operations or anatomical checkups. The indications and résults of the different types of operation are analysed. It is the authors' policy to operate as soon as possible in order to assess the gravity of the lesions. This attitude is justified by the risk of unsuspected biliary stones and the uncertain evolution of extravasated peripancreatic effusion tracks. Strictly controlled drainage still has its place in the treatment of pancreatitis, alongside of exeresis and necrosectomy.
