Akute nekrotisierende Pankreatitis
摘要
Necrotizing pancreatitis is the complicated course of an acute pancreatitis. Necrosis develops in about 5–20% of patients suffering from acute pancreatitis. A distinction is made between initial fluid accumulation and walled off necrosis after about 28 days. The significantly increased mortality of up to 30% of necrotizing pancreatitis is due to the (secondary) infection of necrotic tissue, which occurs in about 1/3 of patients with necrotizing pancreatitis. In the case of infected necrosis, invasive therapy is indicated. For about 15 years, there has been a recommendation for minimally invasive therapy and a move away from open surgical procedures. Minimally invasive strategies are divided into the “surgical step-up approach” and the “endoscopic step-up approach”. The central difference between the two approaches is the external transcutaneous access to necrosis in the surgical step-up. This results in an increased fistula rate as a decisive complication, thus, leading to the recommendation for the internal access route and thus endoscopic drainage therapy.
