Xu Y, Ai T. Emergency hybrid surgery for transection of pancreas at the head and neck after blunt abdominal trauma: A case report and review of the literature. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e37144. [PMID: 38306542 PMCID: PMC10843307 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000037144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 02/04/2024] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A complete disruption of main pancreatic duct (MPD) presents a significant challenge to the surgeon. Historically, the standard surgical approach for addressing a complete disruption of the MPD involved distal pancreatic resection and pancreaticojejunostomy Roux-en-Y anastomosis. Nevertheless, there have been no reported cases of hybrid surgery being employed for the complete disruption of the MPD. PATIENT CONCERNS A 63-year-old male patient presented with blunt trauma in the upper abdomen and was transferred to our trauma center 10 hours after injury. Upon arrival at the emergency department, he was conscious, hemodynamically stable, and complained of upper abdominal pain and distention. Physical examination revealed right upper abdominal tenderness and slight abdominal tension. Abdominal contrast-enhanced CT scan revealed a complete transection of pancreatic parenchyma at the junction of the head and neck. DIAGNOSES Complete transection of pancreatic parenchyma at the junction of the head and neck combined with complete disruption of the MPD, AIS grade IV. INTERVENTIONS The hybrid surgery was initially utilized for complete MPD disruption, incorporating endoscope-assisted stent placement in the MPD along with primary repair of the pancreatic parenchyma and duct. OUTCOMES The postoperative period went smoothly, and the patient recovered and was discharged 4 weeks after operation. The MPD stent was removed under endoscope 4 months after operation, and Endoscopic Retrograde Pancreatography examination showed that the MPD was patency and slight MPD stenosis without pancreatic leakage. At the most recent follow-up, the patient had returned to normal life and work without any pancreatic endocrine or exocrine dysfunction. LESSONS The hybrid surgery, incorporating endoscope-assisted MPD stent placement and primary repair of the pancreatic parenchyma and duct, emerges as a promising alternative for complete MPD disruption in hemodynamically stable patients. The challenge in this hybrid surgery is the precise localization of the distal end of the MPD.

J Surg Res 2024; 293:79-88.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The optimal management strategy for pancreatic trauma remains unclear. We aimed to determine whether the initial nonoperative management (NOM) strategy based on percutaneous drainage combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography guided stent placement would improve outcomes for blunt high-grade pancreatic trauma. METHODS Patients with blunt abdominal trauma who were hemodynamically stable without signs of diffuse peritonitis were consecutively enrolled at a high-volume center. The primary outcome was the occurrence of severe complications (Clavien‒Dindo classification ≥ Ⅲb) for patients who underwent initial laparotomy (LAP) versus NOM. Modified Poisson regression was used to model the primary outcome. Propensity score matching and weighting models were included into a regression-based sensitivity analysis. RESULTS Of 119 patients with grade III/IV pancreatic trauma, 29 patients underwent initial NOM, and 90 underwent initial LAP. The incidence of severe complications in the LAP group was higher than that in the NOM group (65/90 [72.2%] versus 9/29 [31.0%], P < 0.001). In the multivariable modified Poisson regression model, the relative risk for severe complications was decreased in the NOM group (relative risk, 0.52; 95% confidence interval, 0.30-0.90; P = 0.020). The results of the sensitivity analysis were consistent with those of the multivariable analysis. The mean number of reinterventions per patient was 1.8 in the NOM group and 2.6 in the LAP group (P = 0.067). CONCLUSIONS For blunt high-grade pancreatic trauma patients with stable hemodynamics and no diffuse peritonitis, the NOM strategy was associated with a lower risk of severe complications (Clavien‒Dindo classification ≥ Ⅲb) and did not require more invasive reintervention procedures. In high-volume centers with sufficient expertise, percutaneous drainage combined with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography guided stent placement may serve as an initial reasonable option for selected patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic trauma is rare compared to other abdominal solid organ injuries, accounting for 0.2%-0.3% of all trauma patients. Moreover, this type of injury may frequently be overlooked or not readily appreciated on initial clinical examinations and investigations. The organ injury scale determines the severity of the trauma. Nonetheless, there are conflicting recommendations for the best strategy in severe cases. Overall, conservative management of induced severe traumatic pancreatitis is adequate. Modern imaging modalities such as ultrasound scanning and computed tomography scanning can detect injuries in fewer than 60% of patients. However, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) have diagnostic accuracies approaching 90%-100%. Thus, management options include ERCP and stent placement or distal pancreatectomy in cases of complete gland transection and wide drainage only for damage control surgery, which can prevent mortality but increases the risk of morbidity. In the majority of cases, surgical intervention is not required and should be reserved for only severe grade III to grade V injuries.

Hyaluronic acid oligosaccharide-collagen mineralized product and aligned nanofibers with enhanced vascularization properties in bone tissue engineering. Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 206:277-287. [PMID: 35240207 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.02.148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2021] [Revised: 02/12/2022] [Accepted: 02/24/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
Considering the structural complexity of natural bone and the limitations of current treatment options, designing a biomimetic and functional tissue-engineered bone graft has been an urgent need for the replacement and regeneration of defected bone tissue. In light of the cell recruitment to the defect region, scaffold-guided bone tissue engineering has proven to be a viable strategy that is poised to deliver effective osseointegration and vascularization during bone remodeling. Herein, we provide an engineered bone scaffold based on aligned poly(lactic-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanofibers incorporated with hyaluronic acid oligosaccharide-collagen mineralized microparticles (labeled oHA-Col/HAP) to guide the cell-specific orientation and osseointegration in bone healing. The aligned nanofibers were successfully prepared by a custom-made rotating mandrel with separating railings and HAs-Col/HAP mineralized microparticles were uniformly distributed in the composite scaffolds that acted as temporary templates for bone remodeling. The morphology, physicochemical properties and tensile strength of the scaffolds were characterized, the cell responses and in vivo biocompatibility and biodegradability of the scaffolds were also studied to evaluate the potential for bone tissue engineering. The experimental results illustrated that such anisotropic scaffolds loaded with oHA-Col/HAP microparticles mediated cell orderly arrangement conducive to the migration and recruitment of osseointegration-related cells and were stimulatory of cell proliferation. Those oHA-Col/HAP@PLGA scaffolds exhibited ideal biocompatibility and tissue regenerative capacity in vivo through a higher expression of vascularization-related genes. Overall, the novel engineered bone scaffold promises to serve as alternative candidates for bone tissue engineering applications.
