Abstract

Abstract. Introduction. Hollow organ perforations accompanying pancreatic necrosis are a severe complication. In this case, surgical intervention is limited to a degree due to the extensive process in the upper abdomen and the patient’s functional condition. Aim. To share our experience in the minimally invasive repair of gastric perforation in a case series of severely infected pancreatic necroses and retroperitoneal phlegmons. Materials and Methods. We analyzed a case series in our clinic over 5 years, including the necrotizing forms of acute pancreatitis with complications, such as acute perforations of hollow organs. This paper describes the minimally invasive surgeries we performed to treat perforations in upper abdominal. Results and Discussion. In 3 of 4 cases in our clinic, acute perforations of the upper gastrointestinal tract developed along with necrotizing pancreatitis were successfully released using the minimally invasive approach. Conclusions. Hollow organ perforation is one of the most severe complications of infected pancreatic necrosis resulting from the aggressive effects of pancreatic secretion. In this case, the tactical approach depends on the nature and localization of perforation, the course of pancreatic necrosis, and the patient’s functional condition. For perforation of acute gastric ulcers, it is technically possible to use a minimally invasive approach using endoscopic clips, which has been successfully demonstrated in our clinic. We hope that our experience will allow avoiding extended operations in this category of patients.
