RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of LPLD (laparoscopic peritoneal lavage and drainage ) on SAP (severe acute pancreatitis), and to compare its effect with that of non- LPLD (conservative medical management). Methods We collected data from 87 consecutive patients with SAP, from January 2009 to May 2014, including LPLD group (n = 46) and non-LPLD group (n = 41). LPLD was performed in the 1st and 2nd week after the disease onset in LPDP group and other treatment in LPDP group was the same as that in non-LPLD group. Data were comparatively analyzed in two groups about the length of hospital stay, ICU stay, cure rate, incidence of complications and in-hospital mortality. Results In LPLD group, hospital stay, and ICU stay were shorter while cure rate was higher than those in non-LPLD group , and the difference was statistically significant (P 0.05). Conclusion Compared with non-LPLD, LPLD is effective in short outcome, which is a promising treatment for SAP.
