Brief summary

To investigate whether pancreatic cancer is the cause of heterotopic ossification of abdominal incision.

Detailed description

Heterotopic ossification of abdominal incision (HOAI) has long been regarded as a rare complication after general surgery. However,according to our retrospective analysis. HOAI was more frequently observed in the malignancy group (33/121 cases, 27.3%) than in the non- malignancy group. Because of the many biases in the retrospective analysis, the result was not widely shared. The purpose of this prospective study is to confirm that pancreatic cancer is the cause of heterotopic ossification of abdominal incisions. According to postoperative pathology, the patients were divided into two groups: pancreatic cancer group and benign diseases group.The researchers will observe whether patients develop heterotopic ossification of the abdominal incision one year after surgery to conclude.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTBone alkaline phosphatase

Hematologic indicators reflecting ossification.

RADIATIONAbdominal CT scan

Observe whether HOAI occurs.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of HOAI12 monthsHOAI is determined by CT, whose CT number is similar to that of the same spine.
Bone alkaline phosphatase12 monthsPreoperative tests were performed and every three months postoperatively

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of distant metastasis and local recurrence12 monthsPatients with pancreatic cancer were divided into HOAI and non-HOAI groups to determine whether there were differences in the incidence of distant metastasis and local recurrence between the two groups.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall survival5 yearsPatients with pancreatic cancer were divided into HOAI and non-HOAI groups to determine whether there were differences between the OS of two groups.
