    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Context:

    • Acute pancreatitis management traditionally involves conservative measures.
    • The severity of acute pancreatitis dictates treatment intensity, but surgical intervention is typically a last resort.

    Purpose:

    • To present a multimodal therapeutic concept for acute pancreatitis.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of conservative management in reducing mortality and preserving pancreatic function.

    Summary:

    • A comprehensive conservative therapy regimen, including gastric intubation, bladder catheterization, peritoneal dialysis, pain management, fluid resuscitation, antibiotics, and nutritional support, aims to prevent or delay surgery.
    • Emergency surgery is reserved for complications like erosion bleeding or sepsis.
    • This approach decreased lethality in severe pancreatitis (degrees II and III) to 20.3% over seven years.

    Impact:

    • The study demonstrates that even in severe pancreatitis, the pancreas often remains functionally intact.
    • Conservative management significantly improves outcomes, reducing mortality and maintaining pancreatic function in most patients.
    • This highlights the importance of a multimodal conservative strategy in acute pancreatitis care.
