[The basic stages in the diagnosis and treatment of necrotic forms of acute pancreatitis].
An analysis has been performed of results of treatment of 2740 patients with acute destructive pancreatitis over the period between 1973 and the present time, together with those from published literature. Based on the above analysis, an algorithm has been developed to be used in diagnosis and treatment of necrotic forms of pancreatitis, that permitted reducing the postoperative mortality associated with the pathology under consideration from 31.3% to 14.2-14.71%, the general case fatality rate coming up to as low as 6.15% over the last ten years.
