Efficiency of laparoscopic retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy for treating infected pancreatic necrosis with duodenal fistula: a single-center retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Open surgical debridement was the main treatment option for infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN). However, it was associated with significant trauma, leading to a higher mortality rate. With the development of minimally invasive surgery, the step-up treatment principle centered around minimally invasive intervention, significantly reducing the incidence of complications and mortality rates among IPN patients. However, few studies have reported the efficacy of laparoscopic retroperitoneal pancreatic necrosectomy (LRPN), a new minimally invasive debridement technique, in IPN patients with duodenal fistula (DF)-a severe complication of IPN. Therefore, we analyzed the effectiveness and safety of LRPN for treating IPN with DF and discussed the impact of DF on patient prognosis.
