Abstract
Necrotic pancreatitis is a complex clinical entity that requires collaboration of care from surgeons, gastroenterologists, and interventional radiologists. CT scans play a pivotal role in the diagnosis of pancreatic necrosis, while image-guided percutaneous pancreatic drainage is a safe and effective treatment method in certain cases. The diagnostic criteria for pancreatic necrosis, indications for pancreatic drainage, technique, and efficacy are discussed in this article.
