• Resumen

  • Necrotizing pancreatitis, a serious complication of acute pancreatitis, has driven research toward minimally invasive techniques as alternatives to conventional surgical methods. In this context, the objective of the research has been aimed at evaluating minimally invasive techniques in comparison with open surgical techniques. To this end, the terms of reduction of postoperative complications in patients with necrotizing pancreatitis were analyzed. To achieve this goal, a review of clinical studies comparing minimally invasive necrosectomy and percutaneous drainage with traditional open surgical techniques was conducted. The methodology included a comparative analysis of complication rates, recovery times, and mortality rates associated with each approach. The results highlighted that minimally invasive techniques were associated with a lower incidence of postoperative complications, such as infections and pancreatic fistulas. Additionally, patients undergoing these methods showed a reduced hospital stay and faster recovery compared to those who received open surgical treatment. Therefore, it is concluded that minimally invasive techniques are not only safer, but also more effective in the management of necrotizing pancreatitis. Consequently, it is suggested to continue research to optimize the indications for each technique and explore new technologies that further improve treatment results
