Background and Objectives: Acute pancreatitis is a serious illness that can get worse quickly. Still, its intensity varies a lot, from a mild condition that goes away on its own to a severe one that could be fatal. The study's goal was to look into acute pancreatitis and how it is treated in hospitals.

Material and Methods: This study was done at the Department of General Surgery, Sambhram Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Kolar, Karnataka, India. This study was done between the July 2018 to June 2019. There were a total of 50 cases of acute pancreatitis patients. Because to errors in diagnosis, ten instances were not included. The data was analyzed from fifty patients who had seventy episodes.

Results: When we compared our results to the South England Audit, we found that more patients had local problems like necrosis, infected pancreatic necrosis, and abscesses. Even though both groups of patients got the same general results, this kept happening. Our study found 45 percent of cases to be very bad, while the South England Audit only found 32 percent. This may explain why the higher number. Mortality rates have gone down thanks to better Mortality Management. This is especially true in specialized units with advanced technical tools and highly skilled staff.

Conclusion: The statistics we looked at showed that acute pancreatitis was much more common in younger people. People who are more likely to have a serious episode can be found with the help of scoring systems.
