The observations were performed in 226 patients with acute destructive pancreatitis. In 152 patients the medical complex was supplemented with a program of photo-millimeter-wave therapy in which the electromagnetic radiation of the millimeter diapason combined with red and green light was used with due regard for the disease stage. The inclusion of photo-millimeter-wave therapy in the complex of treatment starting from the 2-3 days of disease promoted a decrease of the systemic inflammatory reaction, rapidly improved the general condition of the patients, reduced the occurrence of infectious forms of pancreanecrosis, lethality and time of hospital staying of the patients. The inclusion of photo-millimeter-wave therapy since the 10-15th day did not influence the duration of hospitalization but resulted in more favorable course of the disease and less lethality.
