[Prophylactics of acute pancreatitis in pancreatic-duodenal resection]
Abstract:
Results of pancreatoduodenal resections were analyzed in 124 patients. All the patients were divided into 3 groups. The most common complication of pancreatoduodenal resections were shown to be postoperative pancreatitis resulting in incompetence of the pancreatodigestive anastomosis. The patients of the first group received traditional therapy. In the patients of the third group the application of a combined medicamentous prophylactics with Sandostatin and Verapanil allows the incidence of postoperative pancreatitis to be decreased from 35.4% noted in the first group to 18.4%.
