Abstract

Objective: To investigate the causes and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) with iatrogenic duodenal fistula. Methods: The clinical data of the SAP patients with duodenal fistula treated in the Severe Acute Pancreatitis Center of Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital from May 2015 to May 2018 was analyzed retrospectively. Results: A total of 11 patients were enrolled, among which 5 cases of duodenal fistula were caused by iatrogenic injury, including 2 cases of puncture injury, 2 cases of nutritional tube injury and 1 case of drainage tube injury. For patients with poor infection control after conservative treatment, laparoscopic assisted debridement through the right retroperitoneal approach was performed. Treatment of two patients failed for liver failure and the remaining patients were cured. Conclusions: Iatrogenic injury is one of the causes of duodenal fistula in patients with severe pancreatitis. Laparoscopic assisted debridement through the right retroperitoneal approach is an effective treatment for duodenal fistula.
