Furthermore, the patient presents with an unfortunate condition where the pancreas is inflamed, and the victim in severe pain. Objectives: We wanted to review the literature and discuss the approach to diagnosis and management of acute pancreatitis. Methodology: PubMed database was used for article selection, and papers were obtained and reviewed. The following keys terms: acute pancreatitis and its evaluation, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and complications. Conclusion: Acute abdominal pain may signify many surgical conditions, and clinical judgment is central to differentiating between diagnoses. Acute pancreatitis is one of these conditions that are clinically diagnosed. Surgical intervention is not prioritized in the acute episode of inflammation, and surgeons should always opt for medical supportive care. Operative intrusion is reserved for more severe presentations of pancreatitis and its early or late complications.
