Acute pancreatitis in surgical pathology in modern medicine

One of the important and discussed topics in modern medicine, according to research results, are diseases of the pancreas - their diagnosis and treatment. If we look at the global dynamics of the increase in the number of diagnosed cases of pancreatic diseases, then at the moment the increase in the frequency of detection of such diseases is from 8.2 to 10 cases per 100,000 population. At the moment, from 27 to 50 cases of diseases per 100,000 population are detected in Russia, in Europe the indicator is slightly lower, and ranges from 25 to 27 people per 100,000. This frequency is directly related to the constantly deteriorating environmental situation, the growing use of alcoholic beverages, poor food quality due to the transition to semi-finished products and an increase in the composition of the products of the results of the chemical industry, a decrease in the standard of living in general.Also, in the last ten years, there has been an almost fourfold increase in the detected cases of acute and chronic pancreatitis in the young population, including those who have not reached the 18th birthday. This gives particular importance to the problem under study, since these segments of the population have a very high risk of complications, as a result of which mortality is observed in almost 6 percent of cases, and in the case of severe acute pancreatitis, it can reach 70 percent.
