Background:
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common gastrointestinal disorder with a high mortality rate. This study evaluated the incidence of and risk factors for reoperation after debridement of AP.
Methods:
This retrospective study included 168 patients diagnosed with AP who had undergone debridement between January 2007 and December 2017 at our hospital. Patients were divided into single-operation and reoperation groups separately.
Results:
Sixty-eight (40.24%) patients underwent reoperation after AP debridement. The main procedure for reoperation was debridement of necrosis. In univariate analysis, the risk factors for reoperation included younger age; higher admission temperature and heart rate; higher levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), blood urea nitrogen and creatinine; higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score and rate of continuous renal replacement therapy; shorter operation interval; lower postoperative albumin level; and high incidence of preoperative and postoperative complications. Multivariate logistic analysis indicated that independent risk factors for reoperation included higher levels of C-reactive protein and creatinine in admission, preoperative percutaneous catheter drainage, and postoperative complications.
Conclusions:
The general characteristics and clinical procedures of patients with AP after debridement might affect prognosis and reoperation. The identification of risk factors could help clinicians to provide specific treatment, better ward management, and stratification of reoperation risk.

01:27Acute Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by rapid inflammation of the pancreas, often caused by factors like gallstone blockage or excessive alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis, on the other hand, is a slow, progressive inflammation that may result from long-term alcohol abuse, obstructions in the pancreatic duct, or genetic factors.
The causes of acute pancreatitis include:
01:24Chronic Pancreatitis I: Introduction
Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, which occurs when the immune system becomes active and causes swelling, pain, and disruptions in organ function. Pancreatitis can manifest as either an acute or chronic condition.
Acute pancreatitis arises suddenly and lasts for a brief duration, while chronic pancreatitis is a long-term affliction...
