Pancreaticogastrostomy for High-Risk Pancreas

Anastomosis; ComplicationsPancreatic Fistula

In 2013, a double purse-string telescoped pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) technique appeared to significantly reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). This study compared the incidence of clinically relevant POPF in patients with high-risk anastomosis after undergoing PG or pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) techniques.

Use of Indocyanine Green Cholangiography and Methylene Blue to Detect Postoperative Biliary Fistula...

Liver Disease

The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether the use of indocyanine green fluorescent cholangiography is responsible in a decrease of biliary fistula's rate in patients with liver diseases requiring liver resection.

Chewing in Children With Repaired Esophageal Atresia-tracheoesophageal Fistula

Chewing Problem

The investigators aim to evaluate chewing function in children with repaired esophageal atresia-tracheoesophageal fistula (EA-TEF). Patients with repaired EA-TEF will be evaluated for age, sex, type of atresia. Each child will be required to bite and chew a standardized biscuit. Chewing function will be scored with the Karaduman Chewing Performance Scale (KCPS). The International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) will be used to determine the tolerated food texture of children.

Cystogram Before Removal of Foley Catheter After Repair of Colovesical Fistula

Colovesical Fistula

Colovesical fistulas are well-recognized but relatively uncommon pathology to both the general and colorectal surgeon. It is a complication arising from an underlying primary acute to chronic inflammatory process. Although colovesical fistulas are uncommon, they are associated with significant morbidity, affect quality of life, and may lead to death, usually secondary to urosepsis. Early diagnosis and management is essential. The purpose of the study is to determine the objective use of cystographic evaluation on postoperative day two to guide early Foley catheter removal post colovesical fistula takedown. The hypothesis is that a cystogram showing no extravasation of contrast on postoperative day two will predict safe removal without increased morbidity. This is an uncontrolled, single arm trial. Patients who meet criteria to undergo either minimally invasive or open colovesical fistula takedown with sigmoid colectomy, without evidence of the need for bladder repair will be eligible to participate. An indwelling Foley catheter is placed intraoperative and continued postoperative. All patients who consent to participate would undergo a cystogram on postoperative day two. The cystogram will be conducted by a radiologist and technician well-trained in the techniques and interpretation of the study. The colorectal surgery enhanced recovery protocol will be followed on all patients with the exception of the cystogram being conducted on post-op day two. If there is no evidence of extravasation of dye is seen on the cystogram the Foley catheter will be removed. Patients will be monitored closely following catheter removal to ensure self-diuresis.

Early Detection of Anastomotic Leakage by Microdialysis Catheters

Pancreatic CancerPancreaticoduodenal; Fistula2 more

Anastomotic leakage of the pancreatojejunostomy is often discovered with considerable delay, causing severe peritonitis, hemorrhage due to erosion of vessels, sepsis, and death. Microdialysis catheters can detect focal inflammation and ischemia, and has a potential for early detection of anastomotic leakage. This observational study will examine if monitoring with microdialysis catheters can detect anastomotic leakage after pancreaticoduodenectomy earlier than current standard of care.

Isolated Roux Loop Versus Conventional Pancreaticojejunostomy Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy...

Pancreatic Fistula

Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a commonly applied operation for the treatment of benign and malignant diseases of periampullary region. Although recent progress in surgical techniques and medical care reduced the mortality rate of this operation below 5% in some institutes, the morbidity rate still remains high as 40-50% (1,2). Pancreatic anastomotic leaks and fistulas continue to be the main source of morbidity and mortality after pancreaticoduodenectomy. Although there are several recommended techniques to reduce the rate of pancreatic fistulas, optimal pancreatic reconstruction technique is still controversial (3-5). One of the recommended techniques for pancreatic reconstruction is isolated Roux loop pancreaticojejunostomy (6). With this method, as pancreatic anastomosis is kept away from biliary and gastric anastomoses, activation of the pancreatic enzyme precursors is blocked and in this way a reduction in the rate and severity of pancreatic fistula and also in the overall morbidity and mortality can be achieved (6-8). In this study, it is aimed to examine if isolated Roux loop pancreaticojejunostomy is superior to conventional pancreaticojejunostomy on postoperative outcomes.

The Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio to Exclude Pancreatic Fistula

Pancreas Neoplasm

There is still no consensus on whether drain fluid amylase (DFA) level, C-reactive protein (CRP) level, or complex scores predict clinically relevant postoperative pancreatic fistula (CR-POPF). The aim of this study is to determine the accuracy of simple biochemical parameters (leucocytes, neutrophils, lymphocytes, Neutrophil to Lymphocytes Ratio (NLR), at postoperative days 1 and 3) to exclude the diagnosis of CR-POPF.
