Long-term outcome of acute necrohemorrhagic pancreatitis. A 4-year follow-up.
This long-term follow-up of 27 patients treated with conservative surgery for necrohemorrhagic pancreatitis (NHP) showed that an almost complete recovery of the exocrine function is achieved within 4 years after discharge, while about half of the patients presented still abnormal endocrine function. The morphological sequelae, pointed out by endoscopic retrograde pancreatography in almost 50% of the cases, remained unchanged during the follow-up period. Therefore, these data seem to exclude an evolution of NHP towards chronic pancreatitis.
