Abstract

Objective: Splenectomy is a major surgical intervention that brings several complications as well as saving life in the surgical treatment of blunt/penetrating spleen trauma. Although it is a highly standardized procedure in terms of the surgical technique used, pancreatic tail injuries can also be observed, especially during dissection and ligation of the splenic hilum. In this study, we investigated the possible helpful effects of the amylase levels of serum and drainage fluid when there was suspicion for pancreatic injury during splenic hilum dissection.
Material and Methods: Forty-two patients who underwent splenectomy under emergency conditions for splenic injury secondary to acute trauma were included in the study. Nine of the patients developed pancreatic leakage/fistula (Group-1), while 33 did not in the control group (Group-2). Amylase levels measured in both the drain in the site of the surgery and in the serum at postoperative 8, 24, 48 and 72nd hours period were compared. Patients with severe systemic diseases and former hepatobiliary disease excluded.
Results: There was no statistically significant difference in mean blood amylase levels between Group-1 and Group-2 (p>0.05), however, when it was examined with regard to the measured mean amylase levels, the measurement values of Group-1 were significantly higher than those of Group-2 (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Considering tissue ischemia-necrosis, intraabdominal infection-abscesses, possible intraabdominal adhesions, and other serious complications occurred secondary to chemical trauma as a result of the dissemination of pancreatic secretions into the peritoneal cavity, it is very important to protect the peritoneal cavity from contact with these enzymes. For this purpose, we suggest that the use of early stage drainage fluid amylase measurement is very important.

Abstract

Amaç: Künt/delici-kesici dalak travmalarının cerrahi tedavisinde splenektomi, hayat kurtarıcı olduğu ölçüde çeşitli komplikasyonları da beraberinde getiren major bir cerrahi girişimdir. Kullanılan cerrahi teknik açısından son derece standardize edilmiş bir prosedür olmakla beraber özellikle dalak hilusunun diseksiyonu ve bağlanması esnasında pankreas kuyruk yaralanmaları da görülebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada dalak hilus diseksiyonu sırasında iatrojenik pankreas yaralanması şüphesi durumunda serum ve dren amilaz değerlerninin pankreatik kaçak/fistül oluşumunu öngörmedeki başarısı incelendi.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Akut travmaya sekonder Grade 3-4 dalak yaralanması nedeniyle acil koşullarda splenektomi yapılan 42 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Pankreatik kaçak izlenenen hastalar ile (Grup-1: 9 olgu), kaçak izlenmeyen hastaların (Grup-2: 33 olgu) postoperatif dönemde 8, 24, 48 ve 72. saatlerde hem operasyon lojundaki drenden hem kandan alınan amilaz-lipaz ölçüm değerleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Ağır sistemik hastalığı bulunanlarla, bilinen hepatobiliyer sistem ve pankreas patolojisi bulunan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı.
Bulgular: Grup-1 ve Grup-2 arasında ortalama serum amilaz düzeyleri açısından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark izlenmezken (p>0.05), drenden ölçülen ortalama amilaz değerleri açısından incelendiğinde Grup-1’in ölçüm değerleri Grup-2’ye göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p<0.05).
Sonuç: Pankreas salgılarının peritoneal boşluğa olan disseminasyonları sonucu oluşacak kimyasal travmaya sekonder gelişebilecek doku iskemi-nekrozu, intraabdominal enfeksiyon-abseler, olası intraabdominal adezyonlar ve diğer ciddi komplikasyonlar düşünüldüğünde, peritoneal boşluğun bu enzimlerle temasından korunmasının oldukça önemli olduğunu düşünmekteyiz. Bu amaca yönelik olarak pankreatik yaralanma şüphesi olan olgularda drenden ölçülecek amilaz değerlerinin oldukça önemli olabileceği görüşündeyiz.
