    Video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) is a minimally invasive approach for managing severe acute pancreatitis with infected peripancreatic necrosis.

  • 2

    A standardized perioperative nursing protocol was implemented, covering preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care strategies.

  • 3

    The study involved 41 patients, with a mean age of 52.9 years, and reported low rates of nursing-sensitive complications.

  • 4

    Postoperative outcomes included a mean ICU stay of 10.1 days and a hospital stay of 34.9 days, with no new-onset organ failure or mortality.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that the perioperative nursing protocol is feasible and associated with acceptable outcomes, warranting further prospective studies.
