Pancreatic necrosectomy

Pancreatic necrosectomy is a medical procedure to remove dead or damaged tissue from the pancreas caused by severe inflammation or infection, often seen in pancreatitis. The pancreas is an organ that helps with digestion and blood sugar regulation. When parts of it die, they can cause complications like infection or ongoing inflammation. During necrosectomy, doctors carefully extract this dead tissue to reduce infection risk and promote healing. The procedure can be performed surgically or minimally invasively, depending on the situation, aiming to improve the patient's recovery and prevent further health issues.
