Challenging aspects of pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is a complex and challenging disease in emergency general surgery. The incidence of pancreatitis is high, leading to prolonged hospitalizations and significant patient morbidity. While diagnosis and early management are generally well-established, the next phase of management can be difficult. Questions arise regarding the use of antibiotics, when to culture the patient, and the timing of rescanning. The decision to perform invasive procedures, such as drain placement or surgery, becomes even more complex. Different types of procedures, including endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, further add to the decision-making process. Overall, the complex management of pancreatitis requires careful consideration of individual patient characteristics and close multidisciplinary collaboration.
