Diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic fistula with abdominal infection after pancreatectomy / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Pancreatectomy is difficult and has various complications. Pancreatic fistula is one of the most serious postoperative complications after pancreatectomy. It will corrode the surrounding tissues of pancreas, which will cause abdominal infection, if the drainage of pancreatic fistula is not complete. Pancreatic fistula combined with abdominal infection may lead to systemic inflammatory response syndrome. Patients at the severe stage often die of multiple organ dysfunction and septic shock. Up to now, the treatment of pancreatic fistula with abdominal infection has not been well determined. This paper reviewed the relevant studies of pancreatic fistula combined with abdominal infection, analyzed the diagnostic criteria and common pathogenic bacteria of pancreatic fistula with abdominal infection, discussed the indications and systematic treatment plan of the surgical intervention, in order to provide direction for the treatment of pancreatic fistula combined with abdominal infection.
