This work is based on analysis of publications devoted to the problem of surgical approach to treatment of acute pancreatitis over the last 30 years. The main aim of this review is to identify the key steps of evolution of surgical approach to treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis and also to determine the most promising approach among existing methods. The analysis of the most modern clinical recommendations adopted in different countries of the world, as well as the search for such problems, the solution of which will be the main task of world medical science in the near future, is carried out. It has been established that medical communities of different countries give preference to minimally invasive methods of debridement: percutaneous and transluminal endoscopic drainage. According to the most advanced recommendations, the method of choice for surgical treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis is transluminal endoscopic drainage, with inefficiency – percutaneous puncture drainage. The main idea that defines the search vector for treatment methods for the disease is the recognition of the fact that all surgical approaches are aimed at achieving one goal – removing the maximum possible volume of necrotic masses with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Only a method that satisfies both requirements can be recognized as leading.

ABSTRACT Pancreatic necrosis occurs in 15% of acute pancreatitis. The presence of infection is the most important factor in the evolution of pancreatitis. The diagnosis of infection is still challenging. Mortality in infected necrosis is 20%; in the presence of organic dysfunction, mortality reaches 60%. In the last three decades, there has been a real revolution in the treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis. However, the challenges persist and there are many unsolved questions: antibiotic treatment alone, tomography-guided percutaneous drainage, endoscopic drainage, video-assisted extraperitoneal debridement, extraperitoneal access, open necrosectomy? A step up approach has been proposed, beginning with less invasive procedures and reserving the operative intervention for patients in which the previous procedure did not solve the problem definitively. Indication and timing of the intervention should be determined by the clinical course. Ideally, the intervention should be done only after the fourth week of evolution, when it is observed a better delimitation of necrosis. Treatment should be individualized. There is no procedure that should be the first and best option for all patients. The objective of this work is to critically review the current state of the art of the treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis.

Background: Percutaneous or endoscopic drainage was usually performed as the first step in step-up approach for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). However, drainage was unnecessary or unavailable in some patients. Objective: To estimate the safety and effect of one-step laparoscopic-assisted necrosectomy in IPN patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis of IPN patients received surgical therapy in our center between January 2015 and December 2017 was performed. Patients were assigned to either one-step or step-up groups according to the received therapeutic approach. Incidence of complications, death, total number of interventions, and total hospital stay were compared. Logistic regression and nomogram were used to explore the risk factors and probability for patients undergoing interventions ≥3 times. Results: There were 45 and 49 patients included in one-step and step-up groups, respectively. No significant difference between groups in terms of new organ failure (14.29 vs. 14.33%, p = 0.832), death (8.89 vs.8.17%, p = 0.949), and long-term complications (18.37 vs. 15.56%, p = 0.717). However, the number of interventions in one-step group was significantly less than in step-up group with shorter hospital stay. After multivariate analysis, C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and surgical approach were independent predicators for patients undergoing interventions ≥3. A nomogram was built with area under ROC curve 0.891. Conclusion: Compared with step-up approach, one-step surgery was safe and effective in selected IPN patients with less interventions and shorter hospital stay.

Although infected pancreatic necrosis can develop as a result of rare conditions involving trauma, surgery, and systemic infection with an uncommon pathogen, it usually occurs as a complication of pancreatitis. Early phase of acute pancreatitis can be either edematous interstitial pancreatitis or necrotizing pancreatitis. The late complications of pancreatitis can be divided into pancreatic pseudocyst due to edematous interstitial pancreatitis or walled-off necrosis due to necrotizing pancreatitis. During any time course of pancreatitis, bacteremia can provoke infection inside or outside the pancreas. The patients with infected pancreatic necrosis may have fever, chills, and abdominal pain as inflammatory symptoms. These specific clinical presentations can differentiate infected pancreatic necrosis from other pancreatic diseases. Herein, I report an atypical case of infected pancreatic necrosis in which abdominal pain, elevation of white blood cell, and fever were not found at the time of admission. Rather, a 10-kg weight loss (from 81 to 71 kg) over 2 months nearly led to a misdiagnosis of pancreatic cancer. The patient was finally diagnosed based on endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration. This case highlights that awareness of the natural course of pancreatitis and infected pancreatic necrosis is important. In addition, endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration should be recommended for the diagnosis and treatment of indeterminate pancreatic lesions in selected patients.

Abstract Background and study aims Infection of pancreatic necrosis is a dreaded complication requiring an intervention. Nevertheless, the optimal timing of the first intervention is unclear, and consensus data are sparse. This retrospective two-center study evaluated direct endoscopic necrosectomy using lumen apposing metal stents in case of proven or suspected infected pancreatic necrosis in an early stage of the disease. Patients and methods Forty-nine patients with infected pancreatic necrosis were included. Sequent direct endoscopic necrosectomies after lumen apposing metal stent insertion (LAMS) were performed until the resolution of necrosis. In all patients, the first endoscopic intervention was performed within the first 30 days after first proof of pancreatic necrosis. Primary outcome parameters were inflammatory activity, days spent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), and mortality. Results The patient cohort received median 4 necrosectomies (3–5) after a median of 7 days (3–11) after first proof of pancreatic necrosis. Technical and clinical success were achieved in 98.3 % and 87.8 %, respectively; the mortality rate was 8.2 %. The median C-reactive protein level decreased from 241 mg/L (182.9–288.9) before the intervention to a median of 23.3 mg/L (18–60) after therapy. The median time period in the ICU was 5 days (3–9). Conclusions Early endoscopic therapy in the form of direct endoscopic necrosectomy after LAMS placement within the first 30 days after proof of pancreatic necrosis is effective and does not result in poor outcome. Our retrospective data suggest that early intervention before walled-off necrosis is formed is tenable when it is essential due to the patient's clinical deterioration.

Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) often suffer tough complications, some of which are fatal. The early diagnosis and definite treatment of central nervous system (CNS) complications have not been fully achieved yet, which seriously affects the mortality of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). We present a case of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in a 62-year Chinese man who developed acute herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) after favorable minimally invasive retroperitoneal approaches (MIRAs). The patient was successfully treated with 115 days stayed in our hospital. The MIRAs included image-guided retroperitoneal percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD), nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (NPN), and ultrasonic pneumatic lithotripsy system (UPLS) assisted non-narcotic sinus track necrosectomy (NSN). HSE is relatively rare and potentially life threatening. We attempt to discuss the probable risk factors and how the relatively rare HSE are related to the patients of SAP with latent HSV.
