Abstract

Twenty-seven cases of pancreatic necrosis were admitted and treated at our hospital from Jan 2010 till Jan 2015. Eight of these patients (29 %) underwent pancreatic necrosectomy. Of a total number of 957 patients admitted for acute pancreatitis, 27 patients (3 %) were diagnosed to have necrotizing pancreatitis. Of the 8 patients operated on, 5 patients (62.5 %) were treated successfully. The 3 patients who died had 3 organ (renal, respiratory and cardiovascular) failures. Nineteen patients of pancreatic necrosis responded to medical management and were successfully treated.
