ObjectiveTo investigate the occurrence and treatment of postoperative complications after laparoscopic laparoscopic pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPPPD) or pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). MethodThe clinical data of 130 patients undergoing LPD from October 2010 to December 2015 in West China Hospital of Sichuan University were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsOf 130 patients, postoperative complications occurred in 55 cases, including 24 cases of pancreatic fistula, 14 cases of gastric emptying disorder, 3 cases of anastomotic bleeding, 6 cases of peritoneal infection, 1 case of bile leakage, 1 case of venous thrombosis, 1 case of chylous leakage, 5 cases of peritoneal effusion, without the occurrence of stress ulcer and incision complications. There were significant difference in the incidence of pancreatic fistula (P=0.025), gastric emptying disorder (P=0.034), anastomotic bleeding (P=0.020), and peritoneal infection (P=0.016) among prophase group, metaphase group, and the later stage group. ConclusionsThe most common complication after LPD is pancreatic fistula. With the improvement of surgical techniques and procedures, incidences of some postoperative complications decreases gradually.
Tibial transverse transport (TTT) was firstly applied to treat thromboangiitis obliterans successfully by Professor QU Long in China in 2000. Based on this, the team of Professor HUA Qikai in the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University applied this technique to treat diabetic foot since 2013, and until now, more than 500 patients underwent this treatment with excellent effectiveness including a salvage rate as high as 96.1%. Our team also improved this technique in many aspects, and developed a TTT-based classification system and treatment for diabetic foot. We also explored the underlying mechanism of TTT treatment using imaging, histology, and other basic research methods. To further promote the application of this technique in clinic, we reported the findings from our cases and reviewed our previous findings in this study.
