ABSTRACT

Introducción La fístula quilosa es poco frecuente en el postoperatorio de diferentes tipos de intervenciones abdominales, especialmente del espacio retroperitoneal, como las pancreáticas. Puede desarrollarse también en el curso de una pancreatitis aguda grave. El tratamiento inicialmente es conservador y puede dilatarse en el tiempo, aunque puede abreviarse con el uso de somatostatina u octreótido. Pacientes y métodos Los pacientes afectos de enfermedad pancreática que presentaron una fístula quilosa durante su ingreso (débito mayor de 100 cc/24h, niveles de amilasa pancreática normales y triglicéridos superiores a 110mg/dl) fueron tratados inicialmente con dieta absoluta y nutrición parenteral total, seguido de la administración de octreótido 0,1mg/8h por vía subcutánea. Resultados Cuatro pacientes mujeres de entre 55 y 80 años, presentando cirugía pancreática o pancreatitis aguda, desarrollaron una fístula quilosa con débitos entre 100 y 2.000ml cada 24h. Tras la administración de octreótido, las fístulas se solucionaron entre el quinto y el séptimo día de tratamiento, sin presentar recidiva durante un seguimiento de 2 a 4 años. Conclusiones Dado que el tratamiento médico de la fístula quilosa en general se asocia a un curso lento, y que la administración de somatostatina u octreótido produce una drástica resolución del cuadro, tal como hemos constatado en nuestra observación y como aparece descrito por otros autores, el inicio precoz de este tratamiento puede acelerar su curación, lo que redunda en un acortamiento de la recuperación del paciente y en una disminución del gasto hospitalario (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: A chyle fistula is an uncommon complication following abdominal and pancreatic surgery, particularly in the retroperitoneal compartment. It can also appear as a complication of a severe acute pancreatitis. Medical treatment is the initial approach, but resolution is often slow. Somatostatin or octreotide can help in accelerating the resolution of fistulae. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients developing a chyle fistula (output > 100ml/24h, normal amylase levels and triglyceride concentrations above 110mg/dl) associated with pancreatic disorders were treated with oral intake restriction and parenteral nutrition, followed by subcutaneous octreotide 0.1mg/8h. RESULTS: Four female patients from 55 to 80 years old, underwent pancreatic surgery or presented with an acute pancreatitis, were treated. Chyle fistulae ranging from 100 to 2,000ml/24h were treated with octreotide, being resolved within five to seven days. No recurrence has been found in a 2 to 4 years follow up. CONCLUSIONS: We have found that chyle fistula medical treatment is often related to a slow resolution, somatostatin or octreotide administration dramatically reduces its duration. Other previously reported studies have also shown that the quick onset of such treatment can accelerate the whole process, leading to a shorter recovery and lower hospital costs.
