Brief summary

This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial focusing on patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) complicated by pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension (PSPH). The study aims to study the impact of total splenectomy on the debridement efficacy, perioperative recovery, and prognosis of patients with ANP complicated by PSPH.

Detailed description

This study is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial focusing on patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) complicated by pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension (PSPH). A total of 66 participants are planned to be enrolled. The study aims to compare the outcomes of two surgical approaches: open debridement combined with distal pancreatectomy and total splenectomy versus open debridementalone. The objective is to observe the impact of total splenectomy on the debridement efficacy, perioperative recovery, and prognosis of patients with ANP complicated by PSPH. The primary observational indicators include postoperative length of hospital stay, postoperative cost, postoperative life quality, and the alleviation of PSPH. Secondary observational indicators encompass the number of unplanned reoperations, postoperative infection control, postoperative irrigation volume, postoperative antibiotic consumption, and postoperative platelet count change. The study will be carried out in accordance with the protocol.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Length of hospital stay after debridementFrom enrollment of the first subject to completion of follow-up of the last subject (up to 5 years)The total length of hospital stay after debridement, including readmissions.
Degree of pancreatic sinistral portal hypertensionFrom enrollment of the first subject to completion of follow-up of the last subject (up to 5 years)The degree of pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension after intervention

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Draining Tube when DischargedPerioperative
Time of all draining tubes removalFrom enrollment of the first subject to completion of follow-up of the last subject (up to 5 years)
Cost post debridement in the first hospitalizationPerioperative
Number of unplanned re-admissionsFrom enrollment of the first subject to completion of follow-up of the last subject (up to 5 years)
Number of unplanned operationsFrom enrollment of the first subject to completion of follow-up of the last subject (up to 5 years)
Number of percutaneous drainage after debridementFrom enrollment of the first subject to completion of follow-up of the last subject (up to 5 years)
Antibiotic use after treatmentPerioperative
Abdominal lavagePerioperativeAbdominal lavage volume after treatment
Life quality one year after treatmentWithin one year after the last subject was treatedLife quality one year after treatment was judged by the Short-Form 36 Health Survey (SF-36), encompassing both physical and mental health across eight dimensions: physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health. The minimum value is 0%, the maximum value is 100%, and a higher score means a better life quality.
