Specialized Surgical Care for Severe Pancreatitis
Acute necrotising pancreatitis is a severe form of pancreatitis where parts of the pancreas and surrounding tissues become infected or die (necrosis). Our surgical team provides advanced, evidence-based treatment for complex and life-threatening cases, ensuring timely intervention and intensive care support.
Using modern minimally invasive and open surgical techniques, we focus on removing infected or dead tissue, controlling sepsis, and preserving healthy pancreatic function. Our multidisciplinary team ensures precise decision-making, reducing complications and improving survival outcomes.
Necrotising Pancreatitis Surgical Consultation
Surgery is typically considered when infected pancreatic necrosis, persistent organ failure, or complications do not respond to medical management.
During evaluation, our specialists conduct:
Detailed clinical assessment
Blood investigations and inflammatory markers
Contrast-enhanced CT scan to assess extent of necrosis
Assessment for organ dysfunction
Treatment may include a step-up approach, beginning with minimally invasive drainage procedures and progressing to surgical necrosectomy if required.
Our goal is to intervene at the right time — not too early, not too late — to maximize recovery and minimize risks.
When Is Surgery Recommended?
Infected pancreatic necrosis confirmed on imaging
Persistent fever and sepsis despite antibiotics
Worsening organ failure
Large areas of necrotic pancreatic tissue
Abdominal compartment syndrome
Failure of minimally invasive drainage procedures
Our Focus
Timely and evidence-based surgical intervention
Minimally invasive step-up approach whenever possible
Intensive care monitoring and organ support
Infection control and sepsis management
Preservation of pancreatic function
Structured long-term follow-up and recovery planning
