The omental dialysis is an elimination procedure of active pancreatic enzymes from the omental burse. The cases of acute serose and haemorrhagic pancreatitis are always indications for the omental dialysis. Naturally, there will be no results, if the major part of pancreas is necrotic. The purpose of the omental dialysis as a supplement to conservative treatment is to reduce rethalty, which, in our up to date acute pancreatitis casuistics total in average 14,5%. The application of omental dialysis justified with favourable clinical results.
