Abstract

|
|
Acute pancreatitis occuring as a postoperative phenomenon is a serious and highly lethal complication. Most commonly it follows biliary tract or gastric operations, but occationally it occurs after splenectoniy and in rare instance after operations in which there has been no possibility of direct injury to the pancreas interfence with its blood supply. The cause of pancreatitis is frequently unkaiown.
Although serum and urine amylase are important tools for evaluation. of pancreatic disorders, especially acute pancreatitis, difficulties are usually encountered in iuterpreteting acute abdominal pain in the immediate postoperative period. Significant elevation of serum amylase may be anticipated in the presence of postoperative pancreatitis, however, not necessarily.
The principal objective of this study is designed to follow changes of serum, urine and peritoneal fluid levels of amylase in the pre-and postoperative period of the thirty patients underwent abdominal surgery for various reasons at the Surgical Department of Yonsei Medical Center.
