To evaluate the role of octreotide in the treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Seventy-six patients were divided into two groups (octreotide group, n=38, control group, n=38). All patients were treated by the same conservative regime. The octreotide group received octreotide. Results: The abdominal symptoms and signs, WBC count, serum amylase level, and volume of ascites were more effective controlled, with fewer complications occurred in octreotide group.
