CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES TO A COMPLEx TREATMENT OF BILIARY PANCREATONECROSIS

Abstract

ABSTRACT. The paper reviews the treatment outcomes of 176 patients with biliary pancreatonecrosis. The history of pancreatonecrosis was identified in 82% of patients; in the remaining 18%, pancreatonecrosis was diagnosed after acute pancreatitis manifestations. Cholecystolithiasis was revealed in 82% of patients, cholecysto-choledocholithiasis was in 16%, and choledocholithiasis in 2%. A piecemeal pancreatonecrosis was found in 58% of patients, a large-focal one in 22%, subtotal or total in 20%. The combination of minimally invasive procedures on the biliary tract in the pancreatico-duodenal zone with the efficient detoxification and hepatoprotective therapies allowed mortality reduction from 28% to 18%.
