Pancreatic abdominization is a surgical procedure. During such manipulation, the pancreas is excreted into the abdominal space. A procedure is performed with the aim of arresting pain symptoms, preserving the natural functioning of the diseased organ. Also an indication for intervention is the prevention of such common complications of pancreatitis, as fistulas, pyoinflammatory elements, pseudocysts. In addition, abdominization helps to cleanse the body of toxins that are inflamed, the diseased pancreas alone can not infer. As a rule, surgery is recommended for pancreonecrosis and acute pancreatitis.
Before the abdomination, the patient must be preliminarily prepared. During which, the doctor, first of all, studies in detail the patient's medical history, appoints a number of medical studies.
Technically, the process of carrying out abdomination can be divided into such stages:
- General anesthesia is introduced;
- The abdominal wall dissects;
- A gastrointestinal ligament is dissected. Also at this moment the doctor examines the pancreas;
- Pancreatic;
- The drainage pipe is fixed;
- Sewed abdominal tissue.
Surgical intervention must necessarily be conducted by a qualified gastroenterologist. Like any other intervention, abdominization has a number of contraindications. They are as follows:
- Elevated levels of enzymes in the blood;
- There are problems with the release of urine;
- Urine is high in glucose;
- It is not possible to recover the volume of blood lost during surgery;
- Individual factors.
After the abdomination of the pancreas, a recovery period is coming. Its essence is as follows. Before the doctor makes the stitching of the walls, a balloon of latex fixed to the outside is fixed on the pancreas. On average, within a week, this device is used to cool the transported organ. As soon as the patient's condition becomes stable, the balloon is removed.
Most gastroenterologists believe that such an operation allows stabilizing the vital processes of the organ and makes it possible to stop enzyme functioning.
