Application value of ultrasound interventional technique in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis

Abstract

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is an acute abdominal disease characterized by acute onset, serious illness, multiple complications, and high mortality. Surgical interventions have been used throughout the treatment of SAP for a long time, including traditional surgical treatments led by laparotomy and modern surgical treatments led by minimally invasive surgery. Especially in the past 10 years, with the deep understanding of the etiology and pathology of SAP and the increasing complications of traditional surgical treatments, a series of minimally invasive surgical techniques are widely applied in the clinical treatment of SAP, which achieved satisfactory clinical results. Among them, ultrasonic intervention technology plays a key role in the advantages of convenience, minimal invasiveness and strong repeatability. Based on recent literatures at home and abroad, this article reviews the application value of ultrasound interventional techniques in the treatment of SAP.
