[Continuous retroperitoneal infusion of a novocaine cocktail in the combined treatment of severe forms of acute pancreatitis].

Abstract

Severe forms of acute pancreatitis were treated in 53 patients (25 with a destructive form, 28 with an edematous form) with using permanent infusions of a novocaine cocktail into the retroperitoneal space. General lethality was reduced to 5.7%. In the group of patients with a destructive form of acute pancreatitis lethality was 12%. Nobody died in the group of patients with the edematous form. No complications were noted resulting from the method.
