ABSTRACT

Introducción Se ha demostrado que la procalcitonina (PCT) es un buen marcador de sepsis, ya que sus concentraciones en plasma aumentan cuanto más grave es la infección. El índice de Mannheim (MPI) es muy eficaz para evaluar el pronóstico de la peritonitis secundaria. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar si hay correlación entre las concentraciones de PCT preoperatorias y el MPI postoperatorio, así como el valor pronóstico de las cifras preoperatorias de PCT. Pacientes y método Estudio prospectivo sobre un total de 57 pacientes intervenidos entre diciembre de 2006 y agosto de 2008 por peritonitis secundaria y clasificados en 3 grupos (A: 23 pacientes, B: 24 pacientes y C: 10 pacientes) de menor a mayor gravedad del MPI. Los valores de procalcitonina preoperatoria se obtuvieron con el PCT-Q test (BRAHMS). Resultados El PCT-Q fue normal (<0,5ng/ml) en 19 pacientes del grupo A, en 2 pacientes del grupo B y en ninguno del grupo C (p<0,001). El PCT-Q de 2 10ng/ml se objetivó en 1 paciente del grupo A, 13 del grupo B y ninguno del grupo C (p<0,001). Un PCT-Q >10ng/ml se halló en los 10 pacientes del grupo C, en 6 pacientes del grupo B y en ninguno del grupo A (p<0,001). De un total de 19 pacientes ingresados en la unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI), en 15 casos el PCT-Q fue >10ng/ml frente a 4 casos con PCT-Q<10ng/ml (p<0,001); 7 pacientes fallecieron, en todos ellos la PCT-Q fue >10ng/ml (p<0,001).Conclusiones La correlación entre PCT-Q preoperatoria y MPI postoperatorio es positiva y significativa, los valores del PCT-Q son más elevados a mayor gravedad del MPI. Valores mayores de 10/ng/ml de PCT-Q son significativos para el ingreso en UCI y mal pronóstico del cuadro clínico (AU)


Introduction It has been shown that procalcitonin (PCT) is a good marker for sepsis as the more severe the infection the higher the plasma levels. The Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI) is very effective in assessing the prognosis of secondary peritonitis. The aim of this study is to find out whether there is any correlation between preoperative PCT levels and the postoperative MPI, as well as the prognostic value of preoperative PCT levels. Patients and method Prospective study of 57 patients operated on between December 2006 August 2008 for secondary peritonitis and classified into three groups (A: 23 patients, B: 24 patients and C: 10 patients) from lowest to highest severity of MPI. The preoperative values of procalciton in were obtained with PCT-Q test (BRAHMS). Results PCT-Q was normal (<0.5ng/ml) in 19 patients in group A, in 2 patients in group B and none in group C (p<0.001). PCT-Q between 2 10ng/ml were found in one patient in group A, 13 in group B and none in group C (p<0.001). PCT-Q >10ng/ml were found in 10 cases in group C, 6 in group B and none in group A (p<0.001). Of the 19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit, the PCT-Q was >10ng/ml in 15 cases vs a PCT-Q<10mg/ml (p<0.001) in 4 cases. Seven patients died, all of them with a PCT-Q >10mg/ml (p<0.001).Conclusions The correlation between preoperative PCT-Q and postoperative MPI is positive and significant. The values of PCT-Q are higher as the MPI severity increases. Values >10ng/ml are significant for admission to the ICU and a poor clinical prognosis (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: It has been shown that procalcitonin (PCT) is a good marker for sepsis as the more severe the infection the higher the plasma levels. The Mannheim peritonitis index (MPI) is very effective in assessing the prognosis of secondary peritonitis. The aim of this study is to find out whether there is any correlation between preoperative PCT levels and the postoperative MPI, as well as the prognostic value of preoperative PCT levels. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Prospective study of 57 patients operated on between December 2006-August 2008 for secondary peritonitis and classified into three groups (A: 23 patients, B: 24 patients and C: 10 patients) from lowest to highest severity of MPI. The preoperative values of procalcitonin were obtained with PCT-Q test (BRAHMS). RESULTS: PCT-Q was normal (<0.5ng/ml) in 19 patients in group A, in 2 patients in group B and none in group C (p<0.001). PCT-Q between 2-10ng/ml were found in one patient in group A, 13 in group B and none in group C (p<0.001). PCT-Q >10ng/ml were found in 10 cases in group C, 6 in group B and none in group A (p<0.001). Of the 19 patients admitted to the intensive care unit, the PCT-Q was >10ng/ml in 15 cases vs a PCT-Q<10mg/ml (p<0.001) in 4 cases. Seven patients died, all of them with a PCT-Q >10mg/ml (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The correlation between preoperative PCT-Q and postoperative MPI is positive and significant. The values of PCT-Q are higher as the MPI severity increases. Values >10ng/ml are significant for admission to the ICU and a poor clinical prognosis.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the results obtained in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery for perforated duodenal ulcer. PATIENTS AND METHOD: From January 2000 to August 2006, 15 consecutive patients with perforated duodenal ulcer underwent laparoscopic surgery after preoperative selection (ASA scores, time since onset of the perforation). RESULTS: The mean age was 44.6 +/- 15.5 years (range, 18-75). There were 10 men and five women. Fourteen patients were ASA I-II. Time since onset of perforation was more than 12 hours in only one patient. Operative time was 70.5 +/- 9.6 minutes. There were two conversions (13.3%) to the open approach and two postoperative complications (prolonged ileus in one patient and self-limiting leakage in another). There were no intra-abdominal collections or mortality in the entire series. The mean length of hospital stay was 6.5 +/- 2.1 days. CONCLUSIONS: In selected patients, laparoscopic treatment of perforated duodenal ulcer is safe and feasible. Technical standardization and appropriate patient selection are essential to define the real role of the laparoscopic approach in perforated duodenal ulcer.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Analizar los resultados obtenidos en los pacientes intervenidos de úlcera duodenal perforada por vía laparoscópica. Pacientes y método. Quince pacientes intervenidos consecutivamente desde enero de 2000 hasta agosto de 2006, previa selección preoperatoria (ASA y tiempo de evolución de la perforación). Resultados. La media de edad del grupo era de 44,6 ± 15,5 (intervalo, 18-75) años; 10 varones y 5 mujeres; 14 pacientes fueron clasificados como ASAI-II. Sólo en un paciente la duración de la clínica de perforación fue > 12 h. El tiempo quirúrgico fue de 70,5 ± 9,6 min. Se han producido 2 (13,3%) conversiones a cirugía abierta y 2 complicaciones postoperatorias: un paciente presentó íleo y el otro caso, una fístula autolimitada. No se han evidenciado dehiscencias de la sutura duodenal o absceso intraabdominal. No se han producido reintervenciones ni mortalidad. La estancia media hospitalaria fue de 6,5 ± 2,1 días. Conclusiones. En casos seleccionados el tratamiento laparoscópico de la úlcera duodenal perforada es seguro y factible. La estandarización de la técnica y una adecuada selección de los casos son las claves que, en un futuro, deberemos desarrollar a fin de establecer cuál es el papel real del tratamiento laparoscópico en la úlcera duodenal perforada (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio es la evaluación de nuestros resultados obtenidos con el tratamiento laparoscópico precoz en la colecistitis aguda. Pacientes y método. Se estudió a los pacientes intervenidos de colecistitis aguda mediante colecistectomía laparoscópica precoz durante el período comprendido entre julio de 1993 y enero de 2002. Con anterioridad al estudio se establecieron 5 criterios de selección para su acceso laparoscópico: a) diagnóstico clínico-analítico-ecográfico de colecistitis aguda; b) inicio de los síntomas no superior a las 72 h; c) analítica hepática normal y vía biliar principal no dilatada y sin imágenes sugestivas de litiasis coledocal en la exploración ecográfica; d) estado general del paciente sin contraindicación para la laparoscopia, y e) ausencia de cirugía supramesocólica. Resultados. Un total de 158 pacientes fueron tratados por colecistitis aguda. De ellos, en 73 enfermos (46,2 por ciento) se llevó a cabo colecistectomía laparoscópica precoz y en 12 casos fue preciso realizar conversión a cirugía abierta (16,4 por ciento). Presentaron complicaciones 9 pacientes (12,3 por ciento), y cuatro precisaron reintervención, uno de ellos por una lesión de la vía biliar principal, dos por hemoperitoneo por hemorragia del lecho hepático y uno por absceso intraabdominal. La estancia media fue de 5,6 días. Conclusiones. Los resultados de este estudio han demostrado que el uso de la colecistectomía laparoscópica precoz en la colecistitis aguda es seguro y factible (AU)
