Abstract

Intractable pain, as a result of increased pancreatic duct pressure is one of the most important problems in chronic pancreatitis. This study evaluated endoscopic treatment, a nonsurgical procedure including pancreatic stents, in such patients. Ninety nine patients with chronic pancreatitis were followed up between 1995-1999. Endoscopic retrograde cholongiopancreotography was performed on 32 patients and pancreatic stents inserted in 21 of them. Stents were removed in 11 patients while the remaining 10 with stents continved to be monitored. The mean follow up period was 18 months (range 1-35 months). Improvement occurred in 83% of patients with pancreatic stents complications included migration of stents into the proximal duct (two patients) and mild pancreatitis resulting from the procedure (three patients). Endoscopic managment appears to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery with lower morbility and mortality rates.

Özet

Kronik pankreatitli hastaların bir kısmında inatçı ve tedaviye cevapsız ağrıdan intraduktal basıncın artması sorumludur. Endoskopik tedavi cerrahi dışı ve ümit verici yöntemdir. Biz de bu amaçla ağrı nedeni ile takip ettiğimiz ve pankreatik stent uyguladığımız hastalarımızın sonuçlarını bildirdik. 1995-Nisan 1999 tarihleri arasında takip edilen 99 hastadan 32'sine endoskopik tedavi uygulandı. Bu hastalardan 21'ine pankreas kanalına stent uygulandı. Ortalama 18 ay takip edilen hastaların 5'ine kanalda taş nedeni ile balonla taş ekstraksiyonu, 3'üne ise ESWL uygulandı. Hala 9 hasta stentli ve 10 hasta da stentsiz olarak takip edilmektedir. Stent uygulanan 21 hastadan 19'unda işlem başarılı olmuştur.İşlemin başarı oranı %90'dır. İzlem sonrasında klinik iyileşme oranı % 83,3 olarak bildirilmiştir. Stente bağlı erken ya da geç önemli bir komplikasyon izlenmemiştir. Ana pankreas kanalında darlık, darlık +taş bulunan ve inatçı ağrıdan yakınan hastalarda endoskopik tedavi;pankreatik stent uygulaması yeni ve ümit verici bir yöntemdir. Uygulama güvenilirdir ve uygun olan hastalarda cerrahi tedavinin yerini alabilir.
