Objective. To analyze the results of treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis of alimentary etiology. Materials and methods. The retrospective analysis included 35 case histories of patients with severe acute pancreatitis of alimentary etiology who were treated in the surgical departments of the Zaporizhzhia City Emergency and Ambulance Hospital from January 2023 to September 2024.

Six (17.14%) patients died. Among the deceased, 5 (83.33%) underwent surgical treatment. Postoperative mortality in severe acute pancreatitis of alimentary etiology was 31.25%, while mortality in unoperated patients was 5.26% (p = 0.0048, U = 112.5). Conclusions.
