title: Persistent pancreatic fistula after surgical necrosectomy for severe pancreatitis.
abstract: Severe pancreatitis in surgical stage is often complicated with external pancreatic fistula. This disease seems to have a different outcome comparing to postoperative fistula due to inflammation and local anatomical conditions. The paper presents a case of external fistula following necrosectomy, where the conservative treatment failed and a late surgical procedure was required, fistulojejunostomy; also a review of the literature on this topic was done.
