In the early experience of 14 European centers performing ≥10 MIPDs annually, no differences were found in major morbidity, mortality, and hospital stay between MIPD and OPD. The high rates of POPF and conversion, and the lack of superior outcomes (ie, hospital stay, morbidity) could indicate that more experience and higher annual MIPD volumes are needed.

percutaneous therapeutic interventions under X-ray control were performed in patients with exudative complications. Results: Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound imaging were respectively 84.7%, 73.4% and 78.8%. Sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic efficiency of cytological and microbiological examination of our data were, respectively, 86.9%, 95.2% and 91.6%. 737 miniinvasive percutaneous interventions were hold totaly. The implementation of miniinvasive percutaneous interventions helped to stop the disease process and to avoid open surgical procedures in 91.7% of cases. Conclusion: Fine-needle diagnostic puncture is a highly informative method for diagnosis of the nature and details of tissue damage and pathological process phase. The timely refining ultrasound diagnosis of various clinical and morphological forms of acute pancreatitis combined with diagnostic fine-needle puncture conducting allows to approach differentiately to the implementation of miniinvasive percutaneous interventions and to justify a strategic position in the surgical treatment of destructive pancreatitis.

Transposition of DIE-vessels to the subcutaneus compartment is a good alternative for free flap revascularisation in this patient group. In this position, the vessels are easily accessed and used for microsurgery. This technical modification increases the reconstructive possibilities in large and previously irradiated surgical defects.
