Objective To investigate the treatment effects of Kansui root on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS).Methods 16 cases of SAP were randomly divided into kansui root treatment group and control group according to random number table.Patients in control group received routine treatment including fasting, anti-shock, antibiotics and nutritional support.And the patients in kansui root group received routine treatment plus kansui root therapy.The clinical and laboratory parameters were determined and compared between the two groups.Results The relieving time of abdominal pain, bowel sound, the recovery time of hyperamylasemia, body temperature and leukocyte count in treatment group was (7.6±2.3)d, (6.1 ±3.1)d, (5.9±3.3)d, (5.2 ±3.2) d, (6.3 ±2.1)d, which were significantly shorter than those in control group [ ( 11.7 ± 2.1 ) d, ( 11.2 ± 2.3d, ( 10.2 ± 2.7) d, (9.2 ± 3.5 ) d, ( 11.1 ±3.3)d, P＜0.01 ) ].At the 3rd, 4th and 5th day, the intra-abdominal pressure in treatment group were also significantly lower than those in control group[ ( 19.8 ±3.1 )cmH2O vs(23.7 ±2.9) cmH2O, ( 12.3 ±2.7) cmH2O vs (21.3±1.5)cmH2O,(8.2±3.1)cmH2O vs (17.3 ±2.3)cmH2O,P＜0.05].Conclusions Severe acute pancreatitis has close relationship with Jiexiong syndrome in traditional chinese medicine.Kansui root is an effective therapy for alleviating high intra-abdominal pressure.

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is one of the most difficult abdominal operations, and the difficulty in resection and complicated digestive tract reconstruction have brought great challenges for surgeons. At present, laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy has been widely used in clinical practice, and compared with traditional 2D laparoscopy, 3D laparoscopy has the features of high magnification, high definition, and three-dimensional vision, which enables surgeons to see more clearly and operate more accurately, and thus it has great potential to be widely used in pancreaticoduodenectomy.
