[Pancreatic resection and hypothermic peritoneal irrigation in the treatment of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis].
Mortality of non-operated patients suffering from necrotizing pancreatitis is very high, while at those operated is considerably less but not satisfactory. Because of in 1976 we have managed our own modified treatment which includes surgical removal of all necrotic tissue followed by the hypothermic continuous peritoneal lavage-drainage procedure for evacuation of residual devitalized dead tissue and elimination biologically active substances. Using this curative method, we succeeded to reduce mortality rate to 26 percent.
