Journal Title: Journal of Surgery : Concepts & Practice - Year 2024, Vol 29, Issue 3

Abstract

[Objective] To investigate the risk factors and preventive strategies of pancreaticoduodenectomy postoperative hemorrhage. [Methods] A total of 208 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the 904th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force, PLA from January 2017 to December 2021 were enrolled. Twenty-one patients with postoperative hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed. [Results] Univariate analysis indicated that postoperative hemorrhage was mainly associated with pancreatic leakage, biliary leakage, abdominal infection, hypoproteinemia, diabetes, improper use of ultrasound knife, skeletonization, intraoperative blood loss, preoperative jaundice, etc.(P<0.05), but not gender and age (P>0.05). Among the 21 patients with postoperative hemorrhage, 4 cases recovered after conservative treatment such as hemostasis and blood transfusion, 6 cases underwent interventional treatment, 11 cases underwent abdominal exploration, and 2 cases died of postoperative multiple organ failure. Pancreatic leakage (OR=3.963,95%CI: 1.120-14.025), biliary leakage (OR=4.013,95% CI: 1.173-13.734) and abdominal infection (OR=7.545,95%CI: 1.833-31.051) were independent risk factors for postoperative hemorrhage. [Conclusions] The improvement of anastomotic manipulation, reduction of anastomotic leakage, and control and prevention of abdominal infection are important to prevent postoperative hemorrhage of pancreaticoduodenectomy. Surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible for the patients with poor conservative treatment effect.
