Abstract

Although the recent years have seen great improvements in our understanding of the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis and in its management, the disease continues to pose significant problems and remains an appreciable source of morbidity and mortality. In this presentation, I intend to discuss some of the recent advances in the treatment of gallstone pancreatitis and the management of multiple organ failure in necrotising pancreatitis, with particular reference to the work of our own group.
