Introduction:
The modern era of intervention in necrotizing pancreatitis (NP) has seen a significant paradigm shift toward minimally invasive approaches as initial therapy.
Methods:
This video outlines the critical steps of OPD for NP.
Results:
A 69-year-old female with acute biliary NP underwent OPD for NP after 12-weeks of medical management. Her postoperative course was uncomplicated, and she was discharged home on postoperative day seven. The patient recovered uneventfully.
Conclusion:
Operative pancreatic debridement (OPD), now considered the final step in the modern treatment algorithm of NP, remains an important treatment strategy in NP.
