[Several issues to consider in surgical intervention for severe acute pancreatitis in the era of minimally invasive techniques].

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) has a mortality rate of up to 30%. Infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) is a serious complication of acute pancreatitis with high mortality with poor prognosis. With the rapid development of the concept of minimally invasive surgery,the "step-up" treatment strategy with minimally invasive techniques as the core has improved the prognosis of SAP patients,and surgical intervention is extremely key in this process. This article focuses on the surgical intervention strategies of SAP in the era of minimally invasive surgery,including the application of surgical rescue,the selection of the timing and method in surgical intervention,the early prediction and diagnosis of IPN,and the treatment of residual infection, so as to provide reference for the clinical treatment of SAP. The key to reduce the mortality of SAP patients is to establish an integrated comprehensive treatment platform and properly grasp the timing and method of surgical intervention.
