Surgical Management of Giant Walled-off Necrosis

Mehmet Akif Turkoglu, Kursa

Abstract

The term of Walled-off Pancreatic Necrosis (WOPN) is a new definition of the complicated Acute Necrotising Pancteatitis (ANP). WOPN is characterised with organised pancreatic necrosis tissue containing solid and fluid components. Conventionally, prophylactic antibiotic regimens are applied in some clinics, despite this argument is still controversary. We present here a case of huge WOPN treated with surgery and mentioned about our clinic management.
