[Fistulography in destructive pancreatitis in postoperative period].
Results of different x-ray methods applied in 151 patients early after operations for destructive pancreatitis were analyzed. The technique of fistulography is described. Plain roentgenography of the chest demonstrated changes in 77.4% cases, most often occurred disk-shaped atelectases and pleural effusion. Examination of the abdominal cavity revealed functional disorders in 69.8% cases, direct symptoms of purulent process -- in 52.9%, radiographic signs of aseptic sequestration -- in 47.1% patients. X-ray signs of purulent process in the retroperitoneal fat and aseptic sequestration of the infiltrate or fat are outlined. The value of fistulography for localization and determination of the shape of drained cavities, position of the drainage tubes in the cavity, condition of the adjacent tissue, progression of purulent process, adequacy of drain of the purulent cavities is shown. Based on the results of complex x-ray examination with ultrasound investigation and CT data, the indications to repeated procedure (surgery or additional drainage) were formulated in 82 (54.3%) of 151 patients.
