ABSTRACT
Objective:To compare the short-term outcomes of patients undergoing laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) and those with open pancreaticoduodenectomy (open pancreatiloduodenectomy, OPD).Methods:The clinical data of 85 patients with LPD and 103 patients with OPD at our hospital from Jun 2017 to Jun 2019 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:There was no significant difference in clinical data and between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with OPD group, the operation time in LPD group was longer [(407.6±117.4) min vs. (220.8±23.9) min]( P<0.05), but the intraoperative blood loss was less [(285.1±21.9) ml vs. (550.5±65.5) ml]( P<0.05). There was more lymph node dissection (13.5±1.4 vs. 8.8±0.6) ( P<0.05), earlier feeding per month ( P<0.05), shorter time for the use of analgesia and hospital stay ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications such as pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, gastroparesis and intra abdominal bleeding ( P>0.05). Conclusions:LPD is as safe and reliable as OPD, LPD has the advantages of more precise display during operation, while less traumatic and quicker recovery after operation.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the use of different techniques of pancreaticojejunostomy in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) for patients with slim pancreatic ducts.@*Methods@#The clinical data of 45 patients with slim pancreatic ducts (<3 mm) who underwent LPD in People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2017 to March 2019 were studied. These patients were divided into 2 groups: Chen's suturing technique (group A, n=31), and the imbedding pancreaticojejunostomy (group B, n=14). The postoperative pancreatic fistula (PF) rates, complication rate, pancreaticojejunostomy time, and length of postoperative hospital stay were compared between the 2 groups.@*Results@#There was no significant difference in the general data between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula in group A (4 cases) was significantly lower than that in group B (6 cases) (12.9% vs. 42.9%, P<0.05). The operation time of pancreaticojejunostomy in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B [(26.5±0.8) min vs. (28.0±2.4) min, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the length of postoperative hospital stay between the 2 groups (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#Chen's suturing technique was a safe and effective pancreaticojejunostomy technique in LPD carried out in patients with slim pancreatic duct patients.
