However, those suffering from severe acute pancreatitis need intense non-operative treatment and food assistance inside an ICU. newlineIn case of severe acute pancreatitis due to gall stones -removal of gall bladder or bile ductsurgery will be an option. newlinePredicting the extent of the illness is crucial as it enables early intervention and vigorous treatment, which may help avoid sequelae and adverse effects in people at increased risk with severe pancreatitis. newline
