[Conservative treatment of acute pancreatitis using intralesional electrophoresis]

Experimental data are discussed and experience in complex treatment of 102 patients with acute pancreatitis with the application of intralesional+ electrophoresis is analysed. It was demonstrated in experiments on 90 albino rats that in intralesional+ electrophoresis of radioactive++ 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), its concentration in the pancreas was 2.4-3-fold that in the group of animals in which only intraperitoneal injections of the agent were given. Intralesional+ 5-FU, antibiotic, and contrykal electrophoresis was applied in the clinic in 75 patients with edematous and in 27 patients with destructive pancreatitis. Intralesional+ electrophoresis had a favourable effect on the course of acute pancreatitis, but its efficacy was lower in destructive pancreatitis. Intralesional+ electrophoresis made it possible to lower the general therapeutic doses of these agents and to reduce the number of injections per 24 hours. Three fatal outcomes occurred.
