Our experience of surgical treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis
The urgency of acute biliary pancreatitis is due to the increasing number of patients suffering from cholelithiasis, as well as the lack of common surgeons’ views on the diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms. The aim is to analyze the results of surgical treatment of acute biliary pancreatitis in accordance with the developed medical diagnostic algorithm. Material and methods: the results of treatment of 117 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis at the age of 20 to 78 years are analyzed. In 70% of patients with acute biliary pancreatitis, edematous form and small-focal pancreonecrosis were found, and in half of the patients examined had destructive forms of acute calculous cholecystitis. Results: a medical diagnostic algorithm has been developed that includes original patented techniques optimizing therapeutic tactics in acute biliary pancreatitis and being based on the priority active surgical tactics with the use of minimally invasive surgical treatment technologies.
