Retroperitoneoscopy in the management of drained infected pancreatic necrosis
Copyright policy )Retroperitoneoscopy in the management of drained infected pancreatic necrosis
Bacterial infection secondary to pancreatic necrosis occurs in 40% to 70% of patients with severe acute pancreatitis.1 When infected pancreatic necrosis is present, as demonstrated by CT and detection of bacteria on needle aspiration of the necrotic area,2 surgical drainage is indicated via either the transperitoneal3 or extraperitoneal translumbar approaches.4-7 The aim of this report is to present an innovative method for inspection and treatment of the pancreas after the open procedure as an alternative to the standard methods (closed continuous lavage and successive reoperations for debridement).
