[Prognostication and prevention of acute postoperative pancreatitis]

Equations for accurate prediction of the course of postoperative pancreatitis are developed by multifactorial regression analysis for purposeful prevention of this condition. An injury to the pancreas and the "readiness" of hepatoduodenal organs to a degenerative destructive process are significant for the development of pancreatitis. A differentiated strategy is developed for preventing this complication during the post- and intraoperative period by protease inhibitors, cytostatics, and other nonspecific methods.
