Abstract:
Objective:To study the safety and efficacy of using the ultrasonic lithotripsy system (ULS) in assisting percutaneous nephroscopic retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy in patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) extending to both sides of the retroperitoneal regions.Methods:The clinical data of 47 patients with extensive ANP who underwent video-assisted retroperitoneal debridement (VARD) from January 2017 to October 2022 at the Affiliated Hangzhou First People's Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, were analyzed retrospectively. There were 32 males and 15 females, aged [ M( Q1, Q3)] 60(43, 75) years old. The patients were divided into two groups based on the debridement methods: patients treated by nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (NPN) were included in the NPN group ( n=22), while patients treated by the ULS-assisted treatment were included in the ULS group ( n=25). The surgical debridement time, operation time and complications of the two groups were compared. Follow up on recurrence and death of patients was done by telephone, outpatient and/or re-hospitalization records. Results:All patients underwent the VARD operation successfully, without any need for conversion to laparotomy, transfer to intensive care unit and death related to the operations. The pancreatic exocrine function was not damaged in both groups. When compared with the ULS group, the NPN group required significantly more debridement time [3(2, 4) times/person vs. 2(1, 2) times/person], longer operation time [65(40, 85) min vs. 35(30, 50) min] and longer hospitalization time [91(76, 130) d vs. 72(62, 102) d, all P<0.05]. No complications occurred in the ULS group. In the NPN group, postoperative hemorrhage occurred in 3 patients, colon fistula in 1 patient, and delayed viral encephalitis in 1 patient. The incidence of postoperative complications in the NPN group was significantly higher than that in the ULS group [22.7%(5/22) vs. 0(0/25), P=0.032]. All the 47 patients with extensive ANP were followed up for a median of 28 months (range 3 to 60 months), and there were no patients who developed residual recurrence and death. Conclusion:For patients with extensive ANP, ULS-assisted nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy was safe and feasible. When compared with NPN, the ULS-assisted procedure showed more advantages in debridement efficiency, operation time and hospital stay.
