Acute pancreatitis: nonsurgical management

S Tenner et al. World J Surg. 1997 Feb.

Abstract

The care of patients with severe acute pancreatitis is complex. Although numerous medical therapies have been proposed, few interventions have been shown to be of benefit in patients with severe disease. This review summarizes the nonoperative management of patients with acute pancreatitis, including therapies shown to be of little value, the role of antibiotics in patients with acute pancreatitis, the importance of monitoring and supportive care, and the rationale of endoscopic and surgical intervention.
