摘要
The management of infected peripancreatic or pancreatic necrosis in patients with severe pancreatitis has changed considerably in recent years. This review discusses the recent literature on prevention, detection, and management of infected necrosis. Though antibiotics, probiotics, and enteral nutrition have been tried to prevent infected necrosis, only enteral nutrition has consistently proven to be effective. Antibiotics and probiotics have not shown a consistent beneficial effect on outcome. Enteral nutrition reduced infectious complications and mortality in severe pancreatitis, compared with parenteral nutrition. The detection of infection of pancreatic necrosis is important for clinical decision making. Fine-needle aspiration may be used to confirm suspected infection, but if its results will not change clinical decisions, it should be omitted, as it may even introduce infection. Minimally invasive surgical, radiologic, or endoscopic intervention is increasingly being applied. In the absence of level 1 evidence, local expertise dictates which type of intervention is applied. © Current Medicine Group, LLC 2009.
