The results of treatment of 99 elderly and senile patients, suffering an acute pancreatitis in period of 2005 - 2013 yrs, were analyzed. Interstitial acute pancreatitis was diagnoses in 36 (36.3%) patients, focal pancreatic necrosis--in 32 (32.3%), total-subtotal pancreonecrosis--in 31 (31.3%). Miniinvasive interventions were performed in 40 (63.4%) patients, the open--in 24 (38%). The main indication for laparotomy conduction were purulent-septic complications, which is impossible to eliminate while miniinvasive methods application. Due to application of the staged treatment tactics with predominant application of miniinvasive methods, extracorporeal detoxication and improvement of the intensive therapy measures postoperative lethality in necrotic acute pancreatitis have had lowered from 16.7 to 10.3%.
