Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the clinical significance of C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) values and their reliability in early predicting the development of clinically relevant pancreatic fistula (CRPF) following LPD.A retrospective analysis was conducted using data from 120 patients who had LPD between September 2019 and December 2021. Preoperative assessment data, standard patients' demographic and clinicopathological characteristics, intra- and postoperative evaluation, as well as postoperative laboratory values on postoperative days (PODs) 1, 3, and 7, including white blood cells (WBCs), CRP, and PCT, were prospectively recorded on a dedicated database. Two clinicians separately collected and cross-checked all of the data.Among 120 patients [77 men (64%), 43 women (36%], CRPF occurred in 15 patients (11 grade B and 4 grade C fistulas). The incidence rate of CRPF was 12.3%. A comparison of the median values of WBCs, PCT, and CRP across the two groups revealed that the CRPF group had higher values on most PODs than the non-CRPF group. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) and cutoff values. It was discovered that POD 3 has the most accurate and significant values for WBCs, CRP, and PCT. According to the ROC plots, the AUC for WBCs was 0.842, whereas the AUC for PCT was 0.909. As for CRP, the AUC was 0.941 (95% CI 0.899-0.983, p < 0.01) with a cutoff value of 203.45, indicating a sensitivity of 93.3% and specificity of 91.4%.Both CRP and PCT can be used to predict the early onset of CRPF following LPD, with CRP being slightly superior on POD 3.</p>","PeriodicalId":23956,"journal":{"name":"Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41155628","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Als Alternative zur Majoramputation ergibt sich für ausgewählte Patienten die Möglichkeit eines kombinierten Verfahrens mittels arterieller Rekonstruktion und nachfolgender mikrochirurgischer Defektdeckung durch eine freie Lappentransplantation. Als arterielle Rekonstruktionsverfahren stehen endovaskuläre oder offen chirurgische Verfahren wie Bypassrekonstruktion oder Implantation eines arteriovenösen Loops als Vorbereitung für die Defektdeckung zur Verfügung. Ziel der arteriellen Rekonstruktion ist die Schaffung einer ausreichenden Perfusion zur Defektdeckung an der Extremität sowie die Schaffung von Anschlussgefäßen für die Lappentransplantation. Die Auswahl des Lappens richtet sich u. a. nach der Größe und Ausdehnung des Defektes sowie nach dem Vorhandensein einer Osteomyelitis. Dies kann ein- oder zweizeitig erfolgen. In Zentren ist dieses kombinierte Vorgehen als sichere Methode etabliert. Die Mikroperfusionsanalyse des Gewebes mittels Indocyaningrün erhöht nochmals die Sicherheit des Verfahrens und kann Perfusionsdefizite aufzeigen. Das kombinierte Verfahren mittels arterieller Rekonstruktion und freiem Gewebetransfer liefert gute Langzeitergebnisse im Hinblick auf amputationsfreies Überleben und postoperative Mobilität. Wichtig für die Indikationsstellung ist eine korrekte Patientenselektion unter Berücksichtigung der Kontraindikationen. Dieses Verfahren sollte für alle mobilen Patienten mit komplexen Weichteildefekten vor einer Majoramputation evaluiert werden.","PeriodicalId":23956,"journal":{"name":"Zentralblatt fur Chirurgie","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136351621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
