Core Tip
Core tip: This work aims to investigate the effects of perirenal space blocking (PSB) on the gastrointestinal function and clinical outcome of patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Our results showed that PSB could commendably improve the gastrointestinal dysfunction or failure during the early stage of severe SAP. Moreover, PSB administration could improve prognosis and significantly decrease the hospital mortality of SAP patients.
