Abstract:
Objective To analyze the perioperative complications and prognosis of surgical treatment of pancreatic ductal stones.Methods 60 patients diagnosed to have pancreatic ductal stones and were admitted into our hospital from January 2009 and December 2014 were enrolled into this retrospective study.There were 47 males and 13 females.The average age was (44.1 ± 12.0).Results All patients underwent surgical operation and there was no perioperative death.Perioperative complications occurred in 7 patients (11.7％), including pancreatic fistula in 4 patients, delayed gastric emptying in 1 patient, abdominal infection in 1 patient, anastomotic bleeding in 1 patient.Eight patients developed elevated amylase levels.The fasting time was 3.4 ± 1.2 days and the hospital stay was 10.0 ±4.0 days.The follow-up rate was 88.3％ (53/60), at a mean follow-up of 27 months.In 51 patients who presented with abdominal pain, 43 patients (84.3％) had complete pain relief and 7 patients (13.7％) had partial pain relief.In 14 patients with preoperative diabetes mellitus, 1 patient had improvement and 2 patients recovered from diabetes.Two additional patients were diagnosed to have diabetes two years after the operation.Of the 2 patients who were shown to have pancreatic cancer on histopathological study, 1 patient was lost to follow-up while another patient died at 27 months after the operation.The patients diagnosed to have epithelial dysplasia were followed-up and none developed pancreatic cancer.Conclusions The relationship between chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal stones was very close.Chronic pancreatitis also caused exocrine and endocrine dysfunction.Surgical operation plays an important role in symptomatic relief and in delaying pancreatic dysfunction.
