Tactics of surgical interventions in the treatment of destructive pancreatitis

The article considers the experience of treating 142 patients with destructive pancreatitis who were operated on by the "closed" and "open" methods. It has been shown that the minimally invasive "closed" technique is more effective, can often act as an independent method of surgical treatment, rarely requires a transition to "open" techniques, subsequently requires fewer repeated surgical interventions, and is accompanied by lower mortality than the initially "open" approach.
