Abstract
Aims: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) remains a lethal condition with a rising incidence worldwide. Recent randomised trials suggest that peritoneal lavage and/or dialysis (PLD), when administered early in SAP, may be beneficial to improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to review this data systematically.
Methods: Studies featuring PLD for the treatment of SAP were searched systematically (2012 Atlanta classification to 2023). A traditional approach to reporting data was augmented by a narrative synthesis.
Results: 210 articles were reviewed, of which six studies featuring 499 patients were included. The technical approach, duration and type of lavage varied in each study and no safety concerns were reported. In patients undergoing PLD, improvements in inflammatory markers and length of stay were seen in all studies. Where reported, fewer invasive procedures for peri-pancreatic fluid collections were required after PLD. Lower mortality was seen in cohorts receiving laparoscopic lavage alone and combined lavage and dialysis when compared with standard treatment. All studies were rated at moderate or high risk of bias.
Conclusions: PLD demonstrates potential as an early therapy to improve outcomes for patients with SAP. Further research is required to define intervention delivery, explore acceptability and investigate efficacy through a powered randomised controlled trial.
期刊介绍:
HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication.
Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice.
Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice.
HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields.
