Absceso pancreático - Treatment

Tratamiento:

Es posible drenar el absceso a través de la piel (percutáneo). Con frecuencia, se necesita cirugía para drenar el absceso y retirar el tejido muerto.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

El pronóstico de la persona depende de la gravedad de la infección. La tasa de mortalidad de los abscesos pancreáticos que no se han drenado es muy alta.

Complicaciones:

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Consulte con el médico si presenta dolor abdominal persistente con fiebre u otros signos de absceso pancreático, especialmente si ha tenido recientemente un seudoquiste pancreático o pancreatitis.
