METHODS: Clinical data on 245 patients with CP treated at our hospital from May 1983 to October 2001 were reviewed. RESULTS: Of the 245 patients, 122 suffered from CP for a year (49.8%) and 191 for 5 years (78.0%). The rate of positive diagnosis of B-ultrasound, CT, ERCP, B_2-Ty-Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) for CP was 74.2%, 80.7%, 76.5% and 72.8%, respectively. 169 patients (69.0%) received surgical treatment. After the operation, 98.8% of the 169 patients experienced decreased pain with a complication rate of 1.2%. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis and appropriate operative time and management are of vital importance in improving patients' quality of life and controlling the natural history of the disease.展开更多

Methods Clinical information of 9 cases suffering from lower extremity arterial occlusion and CD was investigated retrospectively. Results All the cases were less than 50 years old and the most were females (8/9). Arterial occlusions occurred in either active (5/9) or inactive (4/9) stage of CD. Besides the arteries of lower extremities, other arteries could also be involved such as aorta, iliac artery, renal artery or mesentery artery. Seven cases had atherosclerotic imaging findings (4 had aortic plaques and 6 had iliac artery stenoses). Embolectomy or thromboendarterectomy were mostly performed. Four (44.4%) cases had recurrent lower limb ischemia. Conclusions Arterial occlusive disease is a rare extraintestinal manifestation of CD. A thorough inspection of aorta is necessary. Embolectomy is mostly preferred. Anticoagulation treatment is highly recommended after the operation.展开更多

Methods: 189 patients with pancreatitis admitted from May 1983 to August 1999 to our hospital were reviewed. Results: 136 (72 %) patients received surgical treat- ment including pancreatoduodenectomy (15 pa- tients), distal pancreatectomy (12), internal drain- age of pancreatic pseudocyst (28), side-to-side pan- creaticojejunostomy (16), relief of biliary stenosis (58), and pancreatic biopsy (7). Pain was relieved in 97.8 % of the patients, and the complication rate was 1.5%. Conclusions: It is crucial to select various surgical strategies at a proper time for chronic pancreatitis patients. Patients with chronic pancreatitis compli- cated by dilation or obstruction of the pancreatic duct or with biliary pancreatitis should be operated on in early stages, whereas those with other types of chronic pancreatitis should receive the therapy focu- sing on the alleviation of their symptoms, not on ear- ly surgical intervention. The timing and modality of surgery are important in improving the life quality of the patients and changing their natural history of the disease.展开更多
