The management of a drain after Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and distal pancreatectomy (DP) remains a controversial issue. Our aim in this study was to identify a safe time for drain removal.
This is a retrospective study, of a prospective database, of patients who underwent a PD or DP at two tertiary care institutions.
A total of 180 patients underwent PD and DP during the observation period. Seventeen patients developed fistulas (9.4%), with 70.6% (n = 12) developing in soft pancreatic remnants vs. 29.4% (n = 5) in firm pancreatic remnants. Patients with amylase levels greater than 173 U/L on a postoperative day three were 11.46 times more likely to form a fistula compared to those with an amylase level at or below 173 U/L (p < .001).
Fistula formation is associated with pancreas texture, duct size, and drain amylase following PD or DP. Patients with firm pancreatic texture and large ducts are less likely to develop fistulas than those with soft pancreatic texture and small ducts.
胰十二指肠切除术(PD)和胰体尾切除术(DP)后引流管的管理仍是一个有争议的问题。我们的研究目的是确定安全的引流管拔除时间。
这是一项回顾性研究,对在两个三级医疗机构接受 PD 或 DP 的患者的前瞻性数据库进行分析。
在观察期间,共有 180 例患者接受了 PD 和 DP。17 例患者发生瘘(9.4%),其中 70.6%(n=12)发生在软胰腺残端,29.4%(n=5)发生在硬胰腺残端。术后第 3 天淀粉酶水平大于 173U/L 的患者发生瘘的可能性是淀粉酶水平在 173U/L 或以下的患者的 11.46 倍(p<0.001)。
PD 或 DP 后瘘的形成与胰腺质地、胰管大小和引流管淀粉酶有关。与软胰腺质地和小胰管相比,质地坚硬且胰管较大的患者发生瘘的可能性较低。
