Abstract
Acute necrotizing pancreatitis is a prevalent disease with high morbidity and mortality. The development of radiologic and endoscopic techniques to manage pancreatic necrosis commands a multidisciplinary approach, which has considerably decreased the need for laparotomy. The objective of this update is to define the role of surgery in the multidisciplinary approach to management of necrotizing acute pancreatitis.Entities:
