Study of Splenectomy Effects on Surgery and Recovery in Adults with Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis and Portal Hypertension

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are conducting a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled trial to study patients with acute necrotizing pancreatitis ANP complicated by pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension PSPH. The trial aims to evaluate how total splenectomy affects the effectiveness of debridement surgery, recovery during the perioperative period, and the overall prognosis for these patients. This study plans to enroll 66 participants and compares two surgical approaches to better understand their impacts on patient outcomes. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups one receiving open debridement combined with distal pancreatectomy and total splenectomy, and the other receiving open debridement alone. The study will observe differences in recovery and prognosis between these two surgical methods, focusing on hospital stay length, treatment costs, life quality after surgery, and improvement in PSPH. Secondary outcomes include monitoring infection control, antibiotic use, drainage management, platelet count changes, and the frequency of additional operations or readmissions. During the study, participants will be closely monitored from enrollment until up to five years after surgery. Researchers will track hospital stay durations, intensive care unit time, and complications like pancreatic fistula. Life quality will also be assessed up to one year after treatment. Data on postoperative costs, drainage tube removal, antibiotic use, and abdominal lavage will be collected to evaluate surgical recovery. This comprehensive follow-up will help assess the overall impact of the surgical options on patient health and recovery.
