2. Purpose Necrotizing pancreatitis :
~20% patients in acute pancreatitis will develop necrosis of the pancreatic parenchyma, the peripancreatic tissue, or both
Depending on the presence of persistent organ failure, it is considered moderately severe or severe, with mortality exceeding 30%
In 2/3 the necrosis remains sterile; 1/3 develops infection
Bacterial translocation from the gut
Disturbed intestinal motility, small bowel bacterial overgrowth, increased mucosal permeability

3. Etiology

4. Etiopathogenesis Necrotizing pancreatitis :
Unregulated activation of trypsin within the pancreatic acinar cells
After activation of trypsinogen to trypsin, several enzymes such as elastase, phospholipase A2, and the complement and kinin are activated
The release of these enzymes and the resulting injury to the pancreatic parenchyma triggers an inflammatory cascade resulting in additional cytokine production, including interleukin (IL)-1, -6, -8, as well as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)
Additionally, activation of endothelial cells enables the migration of leukocyte with release of more injury inducing enzymes.
The endpoint of this cascade is a SIRS, characterized by loss of vascular tone, systemic vascular resistance and increased capillary permeability with third spacing of plasma volume, leading to hypotension, respiratory distress, and multiple organ failure

6. Diagnosis Infected necrotizing pancreatitis :
Gas in the necrotic collection on image (42%)
Positive culture of a fine-needle aspiration (false negative: 20%)
Unequivocal clinical sings of infection

7. Diagnosis Necrotizing pancreatitis :
Parenchymal necrosis: areas not present with enhancement by the contrast agent, an index scale may be utilized to quantify: <30%, 30-50%, >50%
Peripancreatic fat necrosis (steatonecrosis): peripancreatic tissue densification, heterogeneity; suggested by presence of paracolic gutters and mesentary root thickening, fat densification with involvement of anterior pararenal space
Development of heterogeneous fluid collections containing solid components; as modify over time, an initial solid appearance, evolving to a more fluid status
Wall-off necrosis (WON): to build a wall around a certain location; a circumscribed area containing fluid and necrotic pancreatic debri replacing part of the pancreatic parenchyma, originating from a necrosis area

8. Treatment Necrotizing pancreatitis :
Working group IAP/APA Acute Pancreatitis Guidelines. IAP/APA evidence-based guidelines for the management of acute pancreatitis (2013)
The Italian Association for the study of the Pancreas (ASIP). Consensus guidelines on severe acute pancreatitis (2015)

9. Open surgical approach :
High mortality rate up to ~65%
Subcostal or midline longitudinal incision
The retroperitoneum is entered through the lesser sac and the pancreas is exposed; infracolic approach as a alternative
Debridement is typically performed with blunt finger dissection or ring forceps
Formal resection is avoided to minimize the incidence of bleeding, fistulae, and removal of vital tissue
Enterotomies are avoided to decreased to incidence of post-operative enterocutaneous fistula

10. Two distinct open surgical completion techniques:
Marsupialization: open abdominal packing, with return to operating room every 48 hours for further debridement until granulation tissue has replaced the retroperitoneal necrosis; the so-call “sandwich technique” is that suction tubes are placed for superficial drainage and the wound was covered by protective materials (Opsite dressing); a mesh was interposed between the edges of the fascia
Continuous post-operative lavage: insertion of two or more double lumen Salem sump tubes (20-24 Fr.) and single lumen silicon rubber tubes (28-32 Fr.) through separate incisions with their tips in the lesser sac and necrotic areas. The smaller lumen tubes are used as the inflow and the larger lumen tubes for outflow litters of fluid are used for lavage.

11. Treatment Necrotizing pancreatitis : Laparotomy necrosectomy
“Step-up approach”
First step: drainage via CT-guided route or endoscopic transluminal route
Complication(28%): Colonic perforation, bleeding, fistula

12. Treatment Necrotizing pancreatitis : “Step-up approach”
Second step: Minimal invasive interventions

Infra-colic approach, blunt dissection with finger, and drains left

13. Treatment Necrotizing pancreatitis : “Step-up approach”
Second step: Minimal invasive interventions
Laparoscopic approach
Retroperitoneoscopic approach (VARD)
Utilize a percutaneous tract, dilated, and then direct
visulization of the necrosis by advancing scope
Endoscopic approach
Hybrid approach

22. Enteral nutrition
Maintain gut integrity
Reduced intestinal permeability
Down-regulate the systemic immune response

23. Nutrition in acute severe pancreatitis
PN should be delayed for at least 5 days after the peak of inflammation
Providing EN postoperatively in those patients requiring surgical intervention dose benefit outcome compared with use of STD

24. Materials and Methods Necrotizing pancreatitis
Sterile necrosis & infected necrosis
Surgical intervention under walled-off status

35. Discussion
“Step-up”approach had a trend of lessen morbidity, and mortality compared to open necrosectomy for the priority treatment in necrotizing pancreatitis cases
There are advantages in minimal invasive approach for necrosectomy including lesser stress induced and sessions of procedure available
Of course, there are limitations in minimal invasive approach, especially the necrosis content was located more centralized

36. Discussion
Marsupialization with continuous post-operative lavage remained the classical and valuable method for necrosectomy surgical treatment
We could start enteral feeding via ND route or once feeding jejunostomy was constructed combined with necrosectomy procedure
