Backgrounds/Aims: Major hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery is usually performed via an open method rather than a laparoscopic method. Postoperative ileus (POI) is a classic complication after open surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether polylactic film is useful in the prevention of POI.
Methods: A total of 179 patients who underwent major HPB surgery between 2005 and 2014, were retrospectively reviewed. A diagnosis of POI was made by a physical examination, laboratory, and radiological findings. Surgi-Wrapⓡ polylactic film was preferentially used intraperitoneally by surgeons, just before wound closure.
Results: Major HPB surgery included pancreatoduodenectomy (n=48), distal or subtotal pancreatectomy (n=24), hepatectomy (n=67), other bile duct or gallbladder operations (n=35), and others (n=5). Although patients with polylactic film showed a significantly lower incidence of POI (n=3, 4.1% vs. n=14, 13.3%, p=0.041), they showed a significantly higher complication rate (n=20, 27.0% vs. n=19, 18.1%, p=0.004), particularly intra-abdominal fluid collection (n=7, 9.4% vs. n=2, 1.9%), and wound infections (n=6, 8.1% vs. n=3, 2.9%), than those who did not receive the film, respectively.
Conclusions: Although the polylactic film prevented POI, more complications other than POI were observed. Well-designed randomized controlled trials, using this anti-adhesive product, are needed to evaluate its effect on POI after major HPB surgery.
