Overview
Surgery for Chronic Pancreatitis tends to be divided into two areas - resectional and drainage procedures.[1]
Surgery
Chronic pancreatitis causing intractable abdominal pain | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Dilated pancreatic duct (>6-7mm) | Non dilated pancreatic duct (<6-7mm) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fibrosis in the head of pancreas Poor drainage | Head-dominant disease | Tail-dominant disease | Diffuse parenchymal involvement | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No | Yes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (Puestow procedure) | Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy with localized pancreatic head resection (Frey procedure) | Classic pancreaticoduodenectomy OR pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy OR Duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (Beger procedure) | Distal pancreatectomy | Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Surgery for the pain management:
- Surgery is usually considered when pain management fails with medical and endoscopic therapies.[2][3][4]
- The goals of surgery are:
- Effective pain relief
- To reduce morbidity
- To preserve long-term pancreatic function
1. Dilated pancreatic duct:
- Obstructive pancreatopathy is the underlying pathology in patients with dilated pancreatic duct.
- Patients are usually managed with drainage procedure that may or may not be accompanied with limited resection.
1.1 Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ):
- LPJ is the conventional surgical approach for pancreatic drainage.[5][6]
- The procedure involves connecting the pancreatic duct to a Roux-en-Y jejunal limb for drainage.
- Laparoscopic LPJ is the minimally invasive procedure with the success rate being directly proportional to the duct size.[7][8]
- Complications such as intraoperative hemorrhage, postoperative hemorrhage and anastomotic leak
1.2 Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy with localized pancreatic head resection
2. Nondilated pancreatic duct:
2.1 Head-dominant disease
2.1.1 Pancreaticoduodenectomy
2.1.2 Duodenal-preserving pancreatic head resection
2.2 Tail-dominant disease
2.3 Diffuse parenchymal disease
Surgery for the management of complications:
1. Duodenal stenosis
2. Terminal biliary stenosis
3. Pancreatic pseudocysts
4. Gastric varices due to splenic vein occlusion
5. Fibrosing stenosis of the transverse colon
