Results of intraabdominal pressure examination in 129 patients with acute destructive pancreatitis are presented. It is demonstrated that pancreonecrosis was associated with intraabdominal pressure rise in 78% cases, and intraabdominal hypertension syndrome developed in 9.3% patients. Prolonged intraabdominal hypertension in patients with advanced pancreonecrosis requires laparotomy. Correlation between intraabdominal hypertension and diffusion of pancreatogenic intra- and retroabdominal inflammation, and also between intraabdominal hypertension and condition severity according to APACHE II scale is demonstrated.
