[Risk of drug-induced acute pancreatitis following propofol anesthesia used in abdominal operations].
The postoperative pancreatitis is a well-known complication. More than eighty-five drugs have been reported to have induced postoperative pancreatitis. Twenty-five cases of Propofol-induced pancreatitis have been reported till now. The relation of pancreatitis to Propofol (Diprivan; Zeneca; London, UK) is considered as a possible one, but has been proved. The goal of the authors is to reveal the plasma lipid and amylase level dynamics in patients after Propofol anaesthesia. The clinicians have to consider this possible relation, because of the growing use of Propofol recently.
