Acute pancreatitis recurring for the second time is quite serious, as recurrent episodes of pancreatitis can lead to worsened conditions. Particularly after the second recurrence, there may be continuous damage to the pancreatic cells, leading to possible pancreatic fibrosis, and even severe complications such as pancreatogenic diabetes and pancreatic pseudocysts following substantial necrosis of the pancreas.

Therefore, for recurrent pancreatitis, it is essential to adopt an aggressive treatment approach, aiming for early diagnosis and timely control measures. This can allow for comprehensive and effective treatment of pancreatitis, salvaging some damaged pancreatic cells, which might be more meaningful for the patient's prognosis. Thus, in cases of a second recurrence of acute pancreatitis with severe complications, active interventions including surgical treatment and other emergency measures should be pursued.
