Pancreatic resection for acute necrotising pancreatitis was followed by abscess of the remnant in 14 out of 83 cases. Not even extensive pancreatic resection could prevent pancreatic remnant infection. The 14 cases of abscess are reviewed. Seven were fatal. Enterocutaneous fistula, commonly accompanied by sepsis and major bleeding, was identified in five patients, four of whom died.
