The incidence of intraabdominal hypertension or abdominal compartment syndrome, as the more severe form is called, is relatively high in patients with severe acute pancreatitis, and therefore more attention is needed to the topic. If conservative treatment fails, immediate surgical decompression is indicated. ⋯ The open abdomen therapy is not advised due to high morbidity. Primary closure of the abdomen is preferable.
