ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) varies among several institutes. It has been evolving from routine surgical management to conservative management in the early stages. The surgical management has a role in the later stages of the disease.

OBJECTIVE:

The purpose of the present study was to review the management and outcome of the patients with SAP at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. MATERIAL AND

METHOD:

Two hundred and ten patients with a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand from December 2001 to April 2005 were studied by retrospective chart review.

RESULTS:

Forty patients were diagnosed with SAP, 27 men and 13 women. SAP was most commonly caused by alcohol abuse (47.5%) and biliary tract disease (37.5%). Eighteen patients (45%) had pancreatic necrosis. Among them, seven patients (38.9%) had infected necrosis, and the rest had sterile necrosis. All patients with infected pancreatic necrosis underwent open pancreatic necrosectomy, and three of 7 died. Four of 11 patients with sterile necrosis died. The overall mortality was 25%.

CONCLUSION:

Patients with SAP have high morbidity and mortality rates. The patients with infected pancreatic necrosis may require surgical management, whereas those with sterile necrosis or SAP without local complications can be managed with conservative treatment and/or intervention. Post-operative complications might occur, thus require long term follow-up.
