Minimally invasive technologies in complex treatment of patients with acute fluid clusters in sterile pancreatonecrosis

Abstract

OBJECTIVE. The study investigated the efficacy of minimally invasive interventions in patients with sterile form of pancreatonecrosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS. There were 202 patients with sterile form of pancreatonecrosis during 5 years. Local complications such as acute fluid clusters were revealed in 136 (67,3 %) and dense infiltrates were noted in 66 (32,7 %) patients. Minimally invasive surgeries were performed on 132 (65,3 %) patients. RESULTS. Pathological process was successfully treated in 97,2 % patients by using given methods and convertion to open surgery was performed in 2,8 % patients. CONCLUSIONS. The application of minimally invasive methods was final in 97,2 % patients with sterile form of pancreatonecrosis without lethal outcomes.
