Transperitoneal approach guided by puncture catheter on laparoscopic treatment of infectious necrotizing pancreatitis / 中华肝胆外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To study the feasibility, safety and efficacy using transperitoneal approach guided by puncture catheter on laparoscopic treatment of infectious necrotizing pancreatitis.Methods:The clinical data of 7 patients who underwent laparoscopic treatment of infectious necrotizing pancreatitis using the transperitoneal approach at Jin Hua Jinhua Hospital of Zhe Jiang Zhejiang University from June 2018 to March 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 3 males and 4 females, with age of (49.6±9.4) years old (range 32-65 years old). The general data, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and other clinical data were collected. Hepatobiliary and pancreatic CT was reviewed 1 week after the operation to study the changes in size of lesion, double cannula position and effect of necrotic tissue removal.Results:All patients were treated with percutaneous puncture and drainage under ultrasonic guidance before surgery. The course of the disease before operation was 42-58 days. All patients successfully completed surgery, and 5 patients underwent cholecystectomy. No patients required conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 140-195 min, the intraoperative blood loss was 30-100 ml, the postoperative hospital stay was 28-42 days, the postoperative time to first passed flatus was 2-4 days. Routine hepatobiliary and pancreatic CT 1 week after the operation showed that the degrees of necrosis and infection of pancreas were significantly improved and the lesion cavity was reduced compared with those before the operation. One patient suffered from abdominal hemorrhage after operation. There were no other serious complications. All patients recovered well after 6 to 12 months follow-up.Conclusion:Laparoscopic treatment of infectious necrotizing pancreatitis by using the transperitoneal approach guided by puncture catheter was safe and feasible. The treatment had the advantages of less trauma and fast recovery, and it was especially suitable for patients with biliary pancreatitis.
