[Recurrent pancreatitis as a surgical problem]
Abstract:
Experience in the treatment of 1498 patients with alcoholic pancreatitis treated with laparotomic and mini-invasive surgeries both in acute and chronic phases of the disease is presented. In 742 patients surgical treatment was multistaged. Re-operations in 17 patients with "chronic purulent pancreatitis", reconstructive surgeries on the pancreas, pancreatic and bile ducts in 84 patients with "head" pancreatitis were most difficult. Percutaneous puncture-catheter procedures for liquid formations in acute phase of pancreatitis were effective as the first stage of treatment to reduce the danger of subsequent laparotomy. Catheterisation of chronic pseudocysts in alcoholic pancreatitis is associated with frequent complications and recurrences and can not be regarded as alternative to internal drainage surgeries. Pancreatic surgeries must guarantee effective correction of intrapancreatic hypertension for prevention of acute pancreatitis recurrences. In acute phase of pancreatitis surgical methods must ensure prevention of symptoms recurrences and pyoseptic complications of pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
