Acute pancreatitis is an intracellular disorder of calcium in pancreatic cells, which can trigger necroinflammatory changes and local and systemic complications. Objectives: Carry out a bibliographic review to assess the level of scientific evidence that exists on visual screening to determine whether or not existing recommendations are adequate. Material and methods: Systematic review of scientific articles consulting the MedLine and The Cochrane Library Plus databases, without date restriction, in Spanish and English. Gray literature was included by manual search. No restrictions were made regarding the type of study. The abstracts and, where necessary, the complete articles are reviewed, finally taking into account all the articles that have recently received recommendations on visual acuity screening and eliminating the rest. Twenty-four bibliographies of articles related to the subject of pancreatitis were selected, performing a bibliographic review and using the most up-to-date information on the subject. Conclusions: Acute pancreatitis is a highly relevant condition for our environment due to its high incidence, the management of this pathology requires adequate knowledge of the underlying clinical and pathophysiological phenomenon of the patient. The correct diagnostic approach and optimal and timely therapeutic management favor a favorable outcome and are associated with fewer complications, morbidity, and mortality.","PeriodicalId":253537,"journal":{"name":"ARC Journal of Surgery","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135505207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectivity of those techniques in a trauma reference center in México. Material and Methods: Patients with microsurgical procedures in the context of upper extremities trauma performed between March 01 of 2010 and August 01 of 2013 were included. The demographic and medical data were recorded and analyzed, identifying interest factors like type of lesion, level of lesion, ischemia time, lesion mechanism, type of magnification for repair and clinical evolution. Statistical analysis was performed with parametric statistics, central tendency and dispersion measures. Results: From a total of 10 patients included, 9 were men (90%) and 1 woman (10%). About age, there were no patients from the first decade of life, 3 patients of the second, 3 patients of the third, 1 patient of the fourth and 3 patients of the fifth decade of life. The mechanisms of trauma reported include 1 patient with a sharp cut, avulsion in three patients, avulsion / tearing in 6 patients. The level if amputation according to the classification of Daniel and Terzis was 2 in two patients, 3 in six patients, 4 in one patient, and 6 in one patient. Other associated lesions were registered only in one patient. Ischemic processes were found in 7 patients with cold ischemia and 3 with warm ischemia. The time of ischemia vary from 2 to 9 hours, with a range between 0-2h in 1 patient; 3 to 4 h in 2 patients; 5 to 6 h in 5 patients; 9 to 10 h in 2 patients. Only 1 patient referred smoking. In five cases the patients were treated with magnifiers only and 5 with microscope assistance. Five patients presented a good evolution and five an unfavorable one. Conclusions: There were lower cases than expected for a third level trauma center in the period of study, with favorable evolution under the worldwide levels reported. The patients with good evolution were younger and with a proximal amputation, the other factors were not significant for the evolution. More studies and a bigger simple are needed to elucidate the significance of other variables in the evolution.
