Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the risk factors for pleural effusion and the corresponding prophylactico-therapeutic measures after pericardial devascularization in patients with portal hypertension.

Methods

Seventy-seven cases with portal hypertension after hepatitis undergoing pericardial devascularization in the Third Department of General Surgery in the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from Mar 2008 to Sep 2012 were selected for a retrospective study.

Results

In these 77 patients, 7 cases(9.1%) accepted nonselective splenic embolism before operation. The types of operation were divided into two groups, 70 cases(90.9%) accepted splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization without esophageal transection, the other 7 cases(9.1%) were given modified Sugiura operation. All patients recovered after operation with an average hospitalization time of (16.7±2.2) days. There was no death or second operation in these 77 cases. Pleural effusion emerged in 12 cases(15.6%) after the operation. By using single factor analysis, the pleural effusion after pericardial devascularization was related to the types of operation, hepatic Child-Pugh classification and nonselective splenic embolism before operation, and to the size of spleen, spleen adhesions around. The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). By using multiple factors logistic regression analysis, the type of operation and the nonselective splenic embolism before operation were the independent factors of pleural effusion (P<0.05).

Conculsion

Through avoiding nonselective splenic embolism before operation, selecting appropriate operation type and improving operational skills, we can reduce the occurrence of pleural effusion after pericardial devascularization.

Key words: Pericardial devascularization, Sugiura, Pleural effusion
