Summary

1. To determine the appropriate timing of surgical intervention after Percutaneous Catheter Drainage (PCD) in infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). 2. To see the change in morbidity and mortality after changing the interval of surgery after PCD

Detailed description

In present study we plan to determine the appropriate timing of surgical intervention after PCD in step up approach of Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). The investigators also intend to evaluate the role of PCD in obviating the surgical intervention in the management of IPN and evaluate the risks \& benefits of extended treatment policy of PCD in step up approach of IPN in comparison to early surgery after PCD.

Conditions

• Acute Pancreatitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	surgical intervention after percutaneous catheter drainage	Patients who are not improving by day 10 after PCD insertion will be included in the present study and are randomized to group A (early surgery i.e. between 10-15days after PCD insertion ) or group B (Extended treatment with PCD with saline irrigation for more than 15days after PCD insertion)
