Abstract: Peripancreatic infection secondary to acute pancreatitis, also known as infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN), is one of the most serious complications of acute pancreatitis. In recent years, with the continuous advancement of endoscopic and surgical therapeutic concepts and technologies, the complication rate and mortality of IPN have significantly decreased and entered a plateau period. Early diagnosis of IPN and targeted interventions are expected to become a breakthrough for further improving its prognosis.
