title: Successful management of postoperative necrotizing pancreatitis after infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.
abstract: We present a case of severe necrotizing pancreatitis that developed after elective repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Surgeons are confronted in cases of postoperative acute pancreatitis with the dilemma of potential intraabdominal infection and the high risk of a subsequent infection of the retroperitoneal synthetic material. The therapeutic options range from a restrictive regime to radical necrosectomy and multivisceral resection.
