Acute Pancreatitis and Acute Fluid Collections
Acute Pancreatitis and Acute Fluid Collections
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if percutaneous drainage of sterile fluid
 collections recurring after initial aspiration in acute pancreatitis yielded better results
 than their conservative management.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Symptoms and signs of acute pancreatitis and if pancreatic or/and peripancreatic fluid
 collections were confirmed by ultrasound and computed tomography examination

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Collections resulting from pancreatic surgery, chronic pancreatitis and encapsulated
 collections and collections with uncertainty about the relationship between the
 collections and clinical symptoms and signs of acute pancreatitis were excluded.
