Laparoscopy and pancreatoscopy were performed in 2091 (62% of all hospitalized) patients with acute pancreatitis. High informative value of laparoscopy and pancreatoscopy in diagnosis of different morphologic forms of acute pancreatitis is demonstrated. Original fistula for pancreatoscopy was developed. It permits one to evaluate visually the dynamics of repair in the pancreas and surrounding tissues and to correct treatment policy.
