Filter by:The aim of this study was to reduce the incidence of postoperative pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy by using different pancreaticojejunostomy methods according to the position of the pancreatic duct.
Three-Dimensional Vascular Reconstruction of the Pancreas on Multi detector Computed Tomography images and its impact on patients undergoing Pancreatoduodenectomy - A Prospective Observational Study IPDA is difficult to identify in pre op in routine CECT images IPDA is difficult to identify in intra op Identification of those major blood vessels (SMA, MCA, Left Renal vein) that lie around the IPDA and then to measure the distances between these major vessels and the IPDA, helps to determine the location of the IPDA
Pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy has been standard procedure for periampullary benign and malignant disease. Delayed gastric emptying is one of most common complications after the procedure. Recently, pylorus resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy has been actively performed because some studies reported that the procedure can reduce postoperative delayed gastric emptying. However, the level of evidence is low and there was few studies considering nutritional status after pylorus resecting pancreaticoduodenectomy. The purpose of this study is to compare between pylorus-resecting and preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy on postoperative delayed gastric emptying and nutritional status.
Patients suffering from pancreas cancer as well as patients with chronic pancreatitis or requiring pancreas surgery often are in a compromised nutritional status. Nutritional support should therefore be started early during the postoperative course to prevent further malnutrition, as it is an important risk factor to develop complications. Recently, several studies have shown that early enteral nutrition (EEN) could shorten length of stay, reduce postoperative infections and mortality, and decrease costs when compared with total parenteral nutrition (TPN) in gastrointestinal cancer surgery. After pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), EEN has been shown to reduce early and late complications, infections, and readmission rates. It is nevertheless currently not clear if EEN improves the short-term outcomes after PD compared to oral nutrition. The primary objective of the study is to assess the impact of EEN on postoperative morbidity after PD, according to the Comprehensive Complication Index. Secondary objectives are to assess the impact of EEN on major postoperative complications, according to Clavien classification, specific complications, length of stay, readmission rates, quality of life, metabolic stress and nutritional response after PD.
Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) is a major complication and an important cause of mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Trans-nasal afferent loop decompression technique (TNALD) may reduce the rate of POPF based on our previous retrospective study. The aim of this open-label randomized controlled trial is to determine whether TNALD is a protective factor against the development of POPF after PD.
Surgeons sometimes need to work overtime or even stay up late to perform pancreaticoduodenectomy. Fatigue and sleep deprivation can result in an increased error rate at work. The effect of overtime work for pancreaticoduodenectomy on the prognosis of patients is unclear. The study explores the impact of overtime work for pancreaticoduodenectomy on the prognosis of patients. This was a single-center, retrospective study. The patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in Peking University People's Hospital between 2017 and 2019 were included. Patients were stratified by operative start time into the control group (surgery that started between 8:00 and 16:49) and the overtime group (surgery that started between 17:00 and 22:00) and compared intraoperative and postoperative parameters to clarify the impact of overtime surgery on the short-term prognosis of patients.
The aim of the present study was to observe whether the modified pancreatico- jejunostomy (PJ ) technique with an isolated pancreatic loop would effectively reduce the POPF rate and overall morbidity after PD
Pancreatic cancer is an aggresive type of cancer with poor mean survival rates despite improvements in chemotherapy regimens and advances in surgical techniques. Surgery is the only therapeutic option with an intend to treat. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is indicated for malignancy in the pancreatic head as well as other periampullary tumors. One of the most fatal complications after Whipple operation is postoperative pancreatic fistula as a result of pancreatojejunostomy leakage. Various risk factors for pancreatojejunostomy leakage have been proposed, while there are others less studied.
During general anesthesia, intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65mmHg is the most common definition of hypotension. In order to reduce IOH, a complex method using machine learning called hypotensive prediction index (HPI) was shown to be superior to changes in MAP (ΔMAP) to predict hypotension (MAP between 65 and 75 excluded). Linear extrapolation of MAP (LepMAP) is also very simple and could be a better approach than ΔMAP. The main objective of the present study was to investigate whether LepMAP could predict IOH during anesthesia 1, 2 or 5 minutes before.
Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), more commonly known as Whipple's surgery is the mainstay treatment for pancreatic head and periampullary cancer. Factors contributing to PD outcomes are broadly categorized to disease-related, patient-related and operative factors. Whereas an inexhaustible list of study exists on looking at reducing PD complication rates with respect to the above-mentioned factors, it was only recently that more attention has been given to the impact of perioperative and intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. This study takes interest in the impact of intraoperative fluid regimes on PD outcomes. The objective of this investigation is to compare the outcomes with the use of intraoperative intravenous human albumin versus standard intraoperative fluid regimes.
