Methods: We analyzed three consecutive cases (2024-2025) treated via anatomical landmark-guided laparoscopy alongside 11 PubMed-indexed cases (2004-2025). This study evaluates a novel surgical paradigm for complete foreign body retrieval and abscess resolution.
Results: The laparoscopic strategy achieved technical precision with minimal operative duration (73 ± 6 min) and blood loss (6.67 ± 4.71 mL), eliminating pancreatic fistula or hemorrhagic complications. Postoperative hospitalization was reduced by 43% compared to conventional interventions (5.3 ± 1.5 vs. 9.3 ± 3.1 days; *p* < 0.01). Crucially, this strategy attained hemostatic efficacy equivalent to augmented reality navigation (ARN)-assisted techniques without preoperative conditioning.
Conclusion: These findings establish a reproducible framework integrating anatomical landmark navigation for emergency pancreatic abscess management. The approach offers clinically validated advantages in procedural safety, visceral preservation, and accelerated recovery trajectories compared to existing strategies.
期刊介绍:
Frontiers in Medicine publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research linking basic research to clinical practice and patient care, as well as translating scientific advances into new therapies and diagnostic tools. Led by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts, this multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.
In addition to papers that provide a link between basic research and clinical practice, a particular emphasis is given to studies that are directly relevant to patient care. In this spirit, the journal publishes the latest research results and medical knowledge that facilitate the translation of scientific advances into new therapies or diagnostic tools. The full listing of the Specialty Sections represented by Frontiers in Medicine is as listed below. As well as the established medical disciplines, Frontiers in Medicine is launching new sections that together will facilitate
- the use of patient-reported outcomes under real world conditions
- the exploitation of big data and the use of novel information and communication tools in the assessment of new medicines
- the scientific bases for guidelines and decisions from regulatory authorities
- access to medicinal products and medical devices worldwide
- addressing the grand health challenges around the world
