For the purpose of justification for the use of various minimally invasive interventions in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe acute pancreatitis, the authors retrospectively analyzed the data of medical documentation for the period from 2009 to 2017, shows the results of surgical and medicinal treatment, the structure of mortality and complications depending on the choice of surgical manual for patients with acute pancreatitis. The possibilities of minimally invasive methods of surgical treatment in comparison with traditional operations are presented. It is shown that the use of minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of pancreatic necrosis significantly reduces the level of mortality associated with complications of infected pancreatonecrosis, and also reduces the level of postoperative complications.
Background. In recent years, the lethality from acute pancreatitis in Russia has not undergone significant changes and according to various data is from 15% to 25%.
Purpose. The evaluation of the performing minimally invasive interventions in the treatment of patients with moderate to severe acute pancreatitis.
Materials and methods. The authors retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 169 patients, the structure of mortality and complications depending on the choice of surgical intervention for the patients with acute pancreatitis of moderate and severe degree.
Results. Lethal outcomes in the group of patients using minimally invasive interventions amounted to 11.5%, in the group of patients using traditional operations 37.5%, p 0.05. Laparoscopic interventions were effective in 88.8% of the cases, and drug therapy had a positive effect in 81.2% of the cases, p 0.05.
Conclusion. It is shown that the use of minimally invasive techniques in the treatment of pancreatic necrosis significantly reduces the levels of mortality, postoperative complications, which improves the overall results of acute pancreatitis treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
