Should acute pancreatitis require surgery?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've felt a recurrence of low fever in my body. However, after careful observation, I haven't gone to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said it's caused by acute pancreatitis. But I don't really understand this disease and don't know if acute pancreatitis requires surgery.

Doctor's answer:

But for patients with acute appendicitis, there are still some things to pay attention to. Further examination is needed to identify the specific cause of acute appendicitis. If conservative treatment is effective, it should primarily be based on conservative treatment, including fasting, appropriate gastrointestinal detoxification, intravenous administration of high-nutrition solutions, and the use of combined antibiotics for treatment. For high fever symptoms, physical cooling and the use of antipyretic drugs should be used as a basis for coordination.
