Background:

Severe acute pancreatitis requires critical management of abdominal complications, including enzyme and necrotic tissue drainage.
Postoperative care is essential for preventing infection and promoting healing in pancreatitis patients.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a method for effective abdominal cavity drainage after severe acute pancreatitis surgery.
To evaluate the use of Faycon drainage tubes and multi-use feeding tubes in managing postoperative complications.

Main Methods:

Utilizing Faycon drainage tubes in conjunction with multi-use feeding tubes.
Administering normal saline irrigation through the feeding tube post-operation.
Implementing continuous suction via the Faycon drainage tube.

Maintaining irrigation for over two weeks post-surgery.

Main Results:

The described method facilitates the drainage of activated pancreatic enzymes, infectious substances, and necrotic tissue.
Continuous irrigation and suction are key components of the postoperative management strategy.

Conclusions:

The combined use of Faycon drainage tubes and feeding tubes with prolonged irrigation is a viable strategy for managing severe acute pancreatitis postoperatively.
This approach aids in clearing the abdominal cavity, potentially reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.
