Abstract:
Hemorrhagic pancreatitis, especially in the setting of multiorgan dysfunction and generalized peritonitis, is characterized by a very high mortality rate. We herein describe the unique case of a patient who survived 27 consecutive laparotomies. This favourable outcome highlights the complexity of the underlying pathology as well as the challenges faced by the treating team.
