Abstract
In this prospective study, the rationality of non-operative treatment for severe acute pancreatitis was evaluated. Twenty-four patients aged 15-74 years with a mean age of 46.1 +/- 15.5 years were divided randomly into two groups: 12 patients in nonoperative group and 12 in operative group. The patients treated nonoperatively survived, while 5 patients died of operation. It is suggested that patients with severe acute pancreatitis can be cured by nonoperative management.
