The Authors though in theirs' opinion medical treatment is the primary therapeutical approach to Acute Necrotizing Haemorrhagic Pancreatitis (A.N.H.P.), state that the surgical treatment is indicated as soon as the necrotizing haemorrhagic evolution of the disease is strongly suspected. It should be conservative in type acting on the evolution of the disease and saving the anatomic integrity of the pancreas. The surgical technique adopted is described which consists in removing cellular debris as well as highly toxic necrotic pancreatic apparatus and it is completed by the endo-retroperitoneal perfusion for a continuous washing of the peritoneal cavity. In conclusion, they report their personal experience with 16 patients affected with A.N.H.P.
