The results of treatment of 319 patients with acute pancreatitis are analyzed, 48 from them (15.1%)--with pancreanecrosis. Etiologic factors in destructive pancreatitis were alcohol addiction (41.67%), cholelithiasis (37.5%), hyperlipidemia (10.41%), hypercalcemia (4.17%), postoperative (4.17%). Location of the necrosis in parapancreatic fat cellular tissue was detected in 6 patients, in pancreatic head--in 8 and both in pancreatic head and corpus--in 11, in corpus and in tail--in 10; total pancreo-necrosis was observed in 5 patients. Therapeutic measures were conservative and only in cholelithiasis cholecystectomy was performed as well as drainage of the choledochus and abdominal cavity. Intensive care was aimed at blocking pancreatic and gastric secretion, inhibition of pancreatic enzymes ferments and suppressing mediators of inflammation, immunocorrection, prophylaxis of infection in the necrotic tissues. Desintoxication was carried out by combination of infusion therapy with forced diuresis, usage of extracorporeal methods and laparoscopic sanation of the abdominal cavity with subsequent lavage. Surgical interventions were carried out in far-off period only for complications of pancreanecrosis. Mortality rate in pancreanecrosis made up 20.85% and in total number of patients with acute pancreatitis--3.13%.
