Abstract:
Objective:To study the indications and clinical efficacy of video assisted small incision in treatment of infected pancreatic necrosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on 27 patients with infected pancreatic necrosis treated by video assisted small incision at the Department of Pancreatic and Splenic Surgery, Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, from January 2018 to December 2019. The surgical approach, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay and complications were analysed. Postoperative follow-up was carried out at outpatients’ clinic, and the patient's time to full recovery and long-term complications were studied.Results:The 27 patients successfully underwent the operations. There were 22 males and 5 females, aged (50.6±6.2) years. The treatment results were analyzed according to the different surgical approaches: the retroperitoneal approach group ( n=4); the omental sac approach group (n=14); the intercostal space approach group ( n=2); and the combined approach group ( n=7). The operation time was (85.3±31.6)min. The intraoperative blood loss was 65.0(45.2, 121.4)ml. The postoperative hospital stay was 23.0(12.5, 36.1)days. The incidence of complications (Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅲ and above) was 14.8%(4/27). There were 2 patients in this study who were admitted to the intensive care unit due to postoperative hemorrhage: 1 patient responded well to conservative treatment and the remaining patient required interventional treatment. Another patient because of poor results, underwent debridement by laparotomy 2 weeks after the operation. There was 1 patient who developed grade C pancreatic fistula which was cured by surgical treatment 6 months later. On follow-up, 2 patients developed colonic fistula 2 weeks after surgery and 2 patients gastric fistula 1 week and 3 weeks after surgery. These patients responded to conservative treatment. Conclusion:With proper case selection, video assisted small incision could safely and effectively be used to treat infected pancreatic necrosis.
