Analysis of therapeutic effect and prognosis of pancreatectomy, pancreatic duct drainage and combined procedures for pancreatic ductal stones / 中华胰腺病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the curative effect and prognosis of pancreatic ductal stone treated by pancreatectomy,pancreatic duct drainage or combined procedures.Methods The clinical data of 296 pancreatic ductal stone patients who received surgical treatment in First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University between January 2008 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed.The cases were divided into pancreatectomy group (162 cases),pancreatic duct drainage group (104 cases) and combined procedures group (30 cases) according to their surgical procedures.The clinical characteristics and short-term and longterm outcomes of surgical treatment between the three groups were analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate the survival rate of no recurrence of pain after operation.Log-rank test and Cox-proportional hazard model were used to analyze the influencing factors on the recurrent pain free survival after surgery.Results The ratio of male patients was highest in pancreatectomy group,and the incidence of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency was highest in pancreatic duct drainage group.Of 296 patients,Ⅰ type pancreatic stone was most in pancreatectomy group and combined procedures group (80.2％,70.0％),and Ⅲ type pancreatic stone was most in pancreatic duct drainage group (46.2％).Medium size pancreatic stone was most in pancreatectomy group (52.5％),and medium and large size pancreatic stone was most in pancreatic duct drainage group (80.8％).Obvious pancreatic atrophy was most in pancreatic duct drainage group.Pancreatic head swelling,bile ductal dilation or compression,combined with pancreatic or surrounding organ complications were most in pancreatectomy,and all the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).In the short-term effect,the overall rate of pain relief was 99.3％,and there was no statistical difference among three groups.Pancreatic duct drainage group was superior to the other two groups in terms of operative time,bleeding volume,postoperative hospitalization days and postoperative complications (all P ＜0.05),but the total incidence of residual stones after operation in drainage group (64.8％) was higher than that in the other two groups,and the difference was statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).In the long-term effect,there were no significant differences in pain recurrence,stone recurrence reoperation,postoperative pancreatic function,body weight and quality of life recovery among the three groups.The 1-year,3-year and 5-year no recurrent pain after operation was 89.0％,79.2％ and 68.9％,respectively.Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the course of CP ≥5 years(HR =2.113,95％ CI 1.160-3.848,P=0.014) and postoperative long-term alcohol consumption (HR =1.971,95％ CI 1.073-3.620,P =0.029) were independent risk factors affecting pain recurrence after surgery.Conclusions Surgery is still an important means for the treatment of pancreatic ductal stone.The short-term and long-term effect of pancreatectomy,pancreatic duct drainage and combined procedures for pancreatic ductal stones are definitely effective.However,none of the three methods can prevent the continued loss of pancreatic function in some patients.According to the preoperative clinical features,surgery strategy should be formulated individually,and the postoperative health guidance and follow-up should be emphasized,which can help to improve the prognosis of the patients with pancreatic ductal stones.
