[Application of ozone therapy in complex treatment of patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis]
Abstract:
Examination and treatment of 32 patients was done, in whom an acute necrotic pancreatitis was diagnosed. In 16 patients (the main group) ozonotherapy, according to scheme, elaborated in the clinic, was added to conventional treatment. The ozonotherapy application had permitted to reduce the rate of performance of "open" operative interventions. The cellular, humoral and local immunity improvement and biochemical indices normalization were noted. The stationary treatment duration was 21.4 days at average in the main group and 34.5 -- in a control one. The relaparotomy performance rate in the main group was lesser than in a control one.

Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
