Li SZ, Zhen TT, Wu Y, Wang M, Qin TT, Zhang H, Qin RY. Quality of life after pancreatic surgery. World J Gastroenterol 2024; 30:943-955. [PMID: 38516249 PMCID: PMC10950648 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v30.i8.943] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2023] [Revised: 12/29/2023] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/26/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic surgery is challenging owing to the anatomical characteristics of the pancreas. Increasing attention has been paid to changes in quality of life (QOL) after pancreatic surgery. AIM To summarize and analyze current research results on QOL after pancreatic surgery. METHODS A systematic search of the literature available on PubMed and EMBASE was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Relevant studies were identified by screening the references of retrieved articles. Studies on patients' QOL after pancreatic surgery published after January 1, 2012, were included. These included prospective and retrospective studies on patients' QOL after several types of pancreatic surgeries. The results of these primary studies were summarized inductively. RESULTS A total of 45 articles were included in the study, of which 13 were related to pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), seven to duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR), nine to distal pancreatectomy (DP), two to central pancreatectomy (CP), and 14 to total pancreatectomy (TP). Some studies showed that 3-6 months were needed for QOL recovery after PD, whereas others showed that 6-12 months was more accurate. Although TP and PD had similar influences on QOL, patients needed longer to recover to preoperative or baseline levels after TP. The QOL was better after DPPHR than PD. However, the superiority of the QOL between patients who underwent CP and PD remains controversial. The decrease in exocrine and endocrine functions postoperatively was the main factor affecting the QOL. Minimally invasive surgery could improve patients' QOL in the early stages after PD and DP; however, the long-term effect remains unclear. CONCLUSION The procedure among PD, DP, CP, and TP with a superior postoperative QOL is controversial. The long-term benefits of minimally invasive versus open surgeries remain unclear. Further prospective trials are warranted.

Propensity Score Matching Analysis of the Safety of Completion Total Pancreatectomy for Remnant Pancreatic Tumors Versus that of Initial Total Pancreatectomy for Primary Pancreatic Tumors. Ann Surg Oncol 2023; 30:4392-4406. [PMID: 36933081 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-023-13309-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/15/2023] [Indexed: 03/19/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The safety and feasibility of completion total pancreatectomy (TP) for remnant pancreatic neoplasms remain controversial and are rarely compared with that of initial TP. Thus, we aimed to compare the safety of these two procedures inducing a pancreatic state. METHODS Patients who underwent TP for pancreatic neoplasms between 2006 and 2018 at our institution were included in this study. Tumor pathologies were classified into three subgroups according to survival curves. We used 1:1 propensity score matching (PSM) to analyze age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and tumor stage. Finally, we analyzed the primary outcome Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) grade, risks of other safety-related outcomes, and the survival rate of patients with invasive cancer. RESULTS Of 54 patients, 16 underwent completion TP (29.6%) and 38 (70.4%) underwent initial TP. Before PSM analysis, age and Charlson Comorbidity Index were significantly higher, and T category and stage were significantly lower for the completion TP group. Upon PSM analysis, these two groups were equivalent in CDC grade [initial TP vs. completion TP: 71.4% (10/14) vs. 78.6% (11/14); p = 0.678] and other safety-related outcomes. Additionally, while the overall survival and recurrence-free survival of patients with invasive cancer were not significantly different between these two groups, the T category and stage tended to be remarkably severe in the initial TP group. CONCLUSIONS PSM analysis for prognostic factors showed that completion TP and initial TP have similar safety-related outcomes that can be used as a decision-making reference in the surgery of pancreatic tumors.

HPB (Oxford) 2023:S1365-182X(23)00025-4. [PMID: 37032259 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2023.01.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2022] [Revised: 01/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/27/2023] [Indexed: 04/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Minimally invasive total pancreatectomy (MITP) is considered safe and feasible with limited evidence on this procedure. The aim of this study was to systematically analyze the current literature on MITP compared to open TP (OTP). METHOD Randomized controlled trials and prospective non-randomized comparative studies were sought systematically in MEDLINE, Web of Science and CENTRAL from their inception until December 2021. Outcome measures included operative time, length of hospital stay (LOH), spleen-preservation rate, estimated blood loss (EBL), need for transfusion, venous resection rate, delayed gastric emptying (DGE), biliary leakage, postpancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), reoperation rate, overall 30-day morbidity (Clavien-Dindo > IIIa), 90-day mortality, 90-day readmission, examined lymph nodes (ELN). Pooled results are presented as odds ratios (OR) or mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS 7 observational studies with a total of 4212 patients were included. MITP had a decreased EBL and transfusion rate, lower 30-day morbidity and 90-day mortality with a longer LOH compared to OTP. There were no significant differences regarding operative time, spleen preservation rate, DGE, biliary leakage, venous resection rate, PPH, reoperation, 90-day readmission and ELN. DISCUSSION Based on the available studies, MITP is safe and feasible compared to OTP in highly experienced hands from high-volume centers. Further high-quality studies are needed to verify the conclusion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) has been increasingly performed in recent years. However, studies on diabetes management after TP during different postoperative periods are still limited. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the glycemic control and insulin therapy of patients undergoing TP during the perioperative and long-term follow-up period. METHODS Ninety-three patients undergoing TP for diffuse pancreatic tumors from a single center in China were included. Based on preoperative glycemic status, patients were divided into three groups: nondiabetic group (NDG, n = 41), short-duration diabetic group (SDG, preoperative diabetes duration ≤12 months, n = 22), and long-duration diabetic group (LDG, preoperative diabetes duration >12 months, n = 30). Perioperative and long-term follow-up data, including the survival rate, glycemic control, and insulin regimens, were evaluated. Comparative analysis with complete insulin-deficient type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was conducted. RESULTS During hospitalization after TP, glucose values within the target (4.4-10.0 mmol/L) accounted for 43.3% of the total data, and 45.2% of the patients experienced hypoglycemic events. Patients received continuous intravenous insulin infusion during parenteral nutrition at a daily insulin dose of 1.20 ± 0.47 units/kg/day. In the long-term follow-up period, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c levels of 7.43 ± 0.76% in patients following TP, as well as time in range and coefficient of variation assessed by continuous glucose monitoring, were similar to those in patients with T1DM. However, patients after TP had lower daily insulin dose (0.49 ± 0.19 vs 0.65 ± 0.19 units/kg/day, P < 0.001) and basal insulin percentage (39.4 ± 16.5 vs 43.9 ± 9.9%, P = 0.035) than patients with T1DM, so did those using insulin pump therapy. Whether in the perioperative or long-term follow-up period, daily insulin dose was significantly higher in LDG patients than in NDG and SDG patients. CONCLUSIONS Insulin dose in patients undergoing TP varied according to different postoperative periods. During long-term follow-up, glycemic control and variability following TP were comparable to complete insulin-deficient T1DM but with fewer insulin needs. Preoperative glycemic status should be evaluated as it could guide insulin therapy after TP.

Risk factors associated with hypoglycemic events after total pancreatectomy: A nationwide multicenter prospective study in Japan. Surgery 2022; 172:962-967. [PMID: 35820975 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2022.04.031] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 03/27/2022] [Accepted: 04/25/2022] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of total pancreatectomy cases have increased worldwide, expanding the need for new insulin products and high-titer pancrelipases. However, the current data that is focused on hypoglycemic events after a total pancreatectomy from large nationwide series are still lacking. This study is aimed to assess the risk factors associated with hypoglycemic events after a total pancreatectomy. METHODS Data were prospectively collected from 216 consecutive patients who underwent total pancreatectomies between August 2015 and December 2017 from 68 Japanese centers. Of the 216 patients, 166 with a follow-up period of 1 year were analyzed. The risk factors for hypoglycemic events at 6 and 12 months (postoperative months 6 and 12) were investigated based on the results of a nationwide multicenter prospective study. RESULTS Of the 166 patients, 57 (34%) and 70 (42%) experienced moderate or severe hypoglycemic events or hypoglycemia unawareness on a monthly basis at postoperative months 6 and 12, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that body weight loss after surgery ≥0.3 kg and total cholesterol level ≤136 mg/dL at postoperative month 6, and glycated hemoglobin level ≤8.9% and rapid-acting insulin use at postoperative month 12 were independent risk factors for hypoglycemic events after a total pancreatectomy. There were different independent risk factors depending on the postoperative period. CONCLUSION Patients with body weight loss after surgery, low total cholesterol level, strict glycemic control, and using rapid-acting insulin should be aware of the occurrence of hypoglycemic events after their total pancreatectomy. In order to prevent hypoglycemic events after a total pancreatectomy, we need to consider optimal nutritional and glycemic control according to the postoperative period.

Abstract
PURPOSE Extensive distal pancreatectomy (ExDP) can transect the pancreatic parenchyma more from the right side than conventional distal pancreatectomy (CDP) can. This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term outcomes of ExDP for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) of the pancreatic body, located adjacent to the portal vein (PV). METHODS Medical records of 98 patients who underwent ExDP (n = 15) or CDP (n = 83) for PDAC were retrospectively reviewed. Short- and long-term outcomes of the two groups were compared. Propensity score matched analysis was additionally performed to minimize the impact of treatment allocation bias. RESULTS In the total cohort, the CDP group had a significantly higher proportion of pancreatic tail lesions (P < 0.01), higher proportion of males, and larger tumor size. Of the 15 patients who underwent ExDP, 11 could be matched. These differences of patients' characteristics were not observed after matching. Before and after matching, the duration of surgery, blood loss, rate of morbidity including pancreatic fistula, and postoperative course were comparable between the groups. The rate of recurrence and recurrence pattern were also not significantly different between the groups. ExDP for PDAC of the pancreatic body near the PV did not increase local or lymph node recurrence. The disease-free and overall survival did not differ between the groups. CONCLUSIONS Surgical and oncological outcomes after ExDP for PDAC were acceptable and comparable to those after CDP. ExDP is a feasible procedure, and could be an option for the treatment of PDAC of the pancreatic body near PV.

Abstract
Background: Total pancreatectomy (TP) seems to be experiencing a renaissance in recent years. In this study, we aimed to determine the long-term survival of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients who underwent TP by comparing with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and formulate a nomogram to predict overall survival (OS) for PDAC individuals following TP. Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with PDAC and received PD (n = 5,619) or TP (n = 1,248) between 2004 and 2015 were selected from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. OS and cancer-specific survival (CSS) of the PD and TP groups were compared using Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Furthermore, Patients receiving TP were randomly divided into the training and validation cohorts. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression were applied to identify the independent factors affecting OS to construct the nomogram. The performance of the nomogram was measured according to concordance index (C-index), calibration plots, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: There were no significant differences in OS and CSS between TP and PD groups. Age, differentiation, AJCC T stage, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and lymph node ratio (LNR) were identified as independent prognostic indicators to construct the nomogram. The C-indexes were 0.67 and 0.69 in the training and validation cohorts, while 0.59 and 0.60 of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging system. The calibration curves showed good uniformity between the nomogram prediction and actual observation. DCA curves indicated the nomogram was preferable to the AJCC staging system in terms of the clinical utility. A new risk stratification system was constructed which could distinguish patients with different survival risks. Conclusions: For PDAC patients following TP, the OS and CSS are similar to those who following PD. We developed a practical nomogram to predict the prognosis of PDAC patients treated with TP, which showed superiority over the conventional AJCC staging system.

Abstract
ABSTRACT This systematic review aimed to investigate the instruments available to measure quality of life (QOL) after pancreatic cancer surgery and to describe short- and long-term QOL outcomes. A comprehensive literature search was completed using PubMed, Embase, and Medline from inception to March 2019. Studies investigating QOL outcomes in patients undergoing pancreatic cancer surgery who were 18 years or older were included. The main outcomes of interest were QOL instruments and short (≤6 months) and long term (>6 months) QOL outcomes. The overarching domains of physical, psychosocial, overall QOL, symptoms, and other were used to summarize QOL outcomes. Thirty-five studies reporting on 3573 patients were included. Fifteen unique QOL instruments were identified, of which 4 were disease-specific instruments. Most of the included studies reported no changes in QOL at short- and long-term follow-ups for the overarching domains. No difference in QOL outcomes was reported between different surgical approaches, except laparoscopic versus open distal pancreatectomy, and pancreaticoduodenectomy versus distal pancreatectomy. There are a wide range of instruments available to measure QOL outcomes in pancreatic cancer surgical patients, although only few are disease-specific. Most of the included studies reported no significant changes in QOL outcomes at short- or long-term follow-ups.

Abstract
Currently, advances in surgical techniques, improvements in perioperative care, new formulations of intermediate and long-acting insulin and of modern pancreatic enzyme preparations have allowed obtaining good short and long-term results and quality of life, especially in high-volume centres in performing total pancreatectomy (TP).Thus, the surgeon's fear in performing TP is not justified and total pancreatectomy can be considered a viable option in selected patients in high-volume centres. The aim of this review was to define the current indications for this procedure, in particular for upfront TP, considering not only the pancreatic disease, but also the surgical approach (open, mini-invasive) and the relationship with vascular resection.

Abstract
Background Postpancreatectomy morbidity remains significant even in high-volume centers and frequently results in delay or suspension of indicated adjuvant oncological treatment. This study investigated the short-term and long-term outcome after primary total pancreatectomy (PTP) and pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) or Whipple procedure, with a special focus on administration of adjuvant therapy and oncological survival. Methods Patients who underwent PTP or PPPD/Whipple for periampullary cancer between January 2008 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score-matched analysis was performed to compare perioperative and oncological outcomes. Correspondingly, cases of rescue completion pancreatectomy (RCP) were analyzed. Results In total, 41 PTP and 343 PPPD/Whipple procedures were performed for periampullary cancer. After propensity score matching, morbidity (Clavien-Dindo classification (CDC) ≥ IIIa, 31.7% vs. 24.4%; p = 0.62) and mortality rates (7.3% vs. 2.4%, p = 0.36) were similar in PTP and PPPD/Whipple. Frequency of adjuvant treatment administration (76.5% vs. 78.4%; p = 0.87), overall survival (513 vs. 652 days; p = 0.47), and progression-free survival (456 vs. 454 days; p = 0.95) did not significantly differ. In turn, after RCP, morbidity (CDC ≥ IIIa, 85%) and mortality (40%) were high, and overall survival was poor (median 104 days). Indicated adjuvant therapy was not administered in 77%. Conclusions In periampullary cancers, PTP may provide surgical and oncological treatment outcomes comparable with pancreatic head resections and might save patients from RCP. Especially in selected cases with high-risk pancreatic anastomosis or preoperatively impaired glucose tolerance, PTP may provide a safe treatment alternative to pancreatic head resection.

Abstract
Hintergrund Die A. mesenterica superior (AMS) wird im Rahmen von Pankreasresektionen (PR) und mesenterialen Gefäßeingriffen (MG) freigelegt und disseziert. Eine dadurch entstandene Schädigung des umliegenden ex- und intrinsischen vegetativen Nervenplexus kann zu einer passageren oder therapierefraktären Diarrhö führen. Fragestellung Die vorliegende Studie soll einen Überblick über den derzeitigen Stellenwert der AMS-Revaskularisations- und -Dissektions-assoziierten Diarrhö („superior mesenteric artery revascularisation and dissection-associated diarrhea“[SMARD]-Syndrom) in Deutschland geben. Material und Methoden Nach selektiver Literaturrecherche (SLR) mit der Fragestellung, ob und wie häufig eine postoperativ neu aufgetretene Diarrhö nach PR und MG vorkommt, wurde eine Onlineumfrage versendet. Ergebnisse Die SLR (n = 4) bestätigte, dass eine postoperativ neu aufgetretene Diarrhö eine häufige Komplikation nach Präparation zur Revaskularisation (RV) bzw. Dissektion (DIS) der AMS ist (Inzidenz ca. 62 %). Therapierefraktäre Verläufe sind selten 14 %. 54 von 159 Zentren beteiligten sich an der Umfrage. 63 % gaben an, eine AMS-RV/-DIS im Rahmen von PR oder MG durchzuführen. Der Durchschnitt an PR pro Zentrum lag 2018 bei 47 und bei 49 im Jahr 2019. Fünf MG erfolgten durchschnittlich in beiden Jahren pro Zentrum. Drei Patienten litten durchschnittlich am SMARD-Syndrom. Diskussion Diese Umfrage erfasst erstmals den derzeitigen Stellenwert des SMARD-Syndroms in Deutschland. Bisher fehlen Empfehlungen zur Therapie einer solchen Diarrhö. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass zunächst eine symptomatische Therapie erfolgen sollte. Aufgrund der Komplexität der Pathophysiologie sind kausale Therapieansätze bislang nicht entwickelt.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in the body composition and nutritional status after total pancreatectomy (TP). METHODS Consecutive 45 patients underwent TP between February 2003 and July 2018. Among them, 32 had computed tomography images available before TP and at 6 and 12 months after TP. The skeletal muscle index (SMI), visceral fat tissue index (VFI), and subcutaneous fat tissue index (SFI) were measured using images at each time. Body mass index (BMI), serum albumin levels (Alb), hemoglobin A1c levels (HbA1c), and daily insulin use were also recorded. RESULTS There were significant reductions in SMI (median, 38.7 vs. 36.6 cm2/m2, P = 0.030), VFI (12.4 vs. 5.1 cm2/m2, P < 0.001), SFI (26.5 vs. 9.2 cm2/m2, P < 0.001), BMI (20.3 vs. 18.7 kg/m2, P < 0.001), and Alb (4.2 vs. 3.7 g/dL, P = 0.031) at 6 months after TP compared with preoperative period. HbA1c significantly increased at 6 months after TP compared with postoperative discharge (6.7 vs. 7.3%, P < 0.001). The daily insulin use significantly increased at 12 months after TP compared with 6 months after TP (22 vs. 26 units/day, P < 0.001), whereas there were no significant changes in other parameters. CONCLUSIONS Significant losses in fat and skeletal muscle mass as well as the BMI and Alb occurred within the first 6 months after TP. A subsequent increase in the daily insulin use occurred during the next six months, which helped preserve the body composition.

Abstract
BACKGROUND While the frequency of pancreatic operations are increasing, understanding quality of life is still insufficient. The aim was to evaluate global health and quality of life of long-term survivors from a range of pancreatic operations using internationally validated instruments. METHODS Patients surviving longer than 5 years after pancreatic operations were surveyed using the European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Cancer-30 and Pancreatic Cancer-26 modules. Variables were analyzed according to demographic and clinical features. RESULTS Eighty patients completed questionnaires. The median follow-up was 9.3 years from the time of operation. The mean scores of global health status/quality of life, physical function, role function, emotional function, cognitive function, and social functioning were 73.9, 83.7, 84.6, 81.1, 80.2, and 86.3, respectively. The participants' reported quality of life was comparable or better than the general United States population. The summary score, which was defined as weighted average of function and symptom scores (excluding global health status/quality of life and financial impact scores), showed significant differences according to the level of education (70.1 no college vs 85.2 college and 85.7 grad school, P = .049), operation type (79.9 pancreatoduodenectomy vs 91.1 total, P = .043), additional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (77.3 vs 86.0, P = .029), and additional abdominal operations related to the primary operation (79.0 vs 86.6, P = .026). CONCLUSION Long-term survivors of pancreatectomy had comparable or better global health status/quality of life, function scale, and lower symptom scores than the general population of the United States, though persistent gastrointestinal symptoms are common. These findings should help inform patients of the long-term consequences of pancreatectomy, so they can make better decisions especially when considering prophylactic operations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatogenic diabetes is common after pancreatectomy, and the impact on quality of life (QOL) is poorly understood. The objective of this study was to investigate QOL between diabetic and non-diabetic patients at least five years after pancreatectomy. METHODS Patients were recruited from a prospectively maintained institutional database. Participants were administered the Audit of Diabetes-Dependent Quality of Life (ADDQOL). Quality of life was compared between diabetics and non-diabetics using validated European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaires. RESULTS 80 individuals completed surveys. 55% were female, 80% non-Hispanic white, 44% underwent Whipple, 48% were cystic neoplasms and 39% were adenocarcinoma. Diabetic patients (42.5%) reported comparable EORTC QLQ-C30 and Pan26 scores to non-diabetic patients. Pre-operative diabetic patients reported more dyspnea (p = 0.02) and greater pain (p = 0.02) than new-onset diabetics. Diabetic patients reported an overall ADDQOL quality of life score 'very good' (IQR: excellent, good) though felt life would be much better without diabetes (IQR: very much better, little better). While operation type was not influential, patients diagnosed with cystic neoplasms were almost twice as likely as those with other pathologies to report that life would be much better without diabetes (p < 0.01). CONCLUSION At a median of 9.3 years from pancreatic surgery, ADDQoL scores of patients were similar to cohorts of non-pancreatogenic diabetics in the general population. Patients without cancer were more likely to report that diabetes affected their overall QOL, regardless of operation. This study provides nuanced understanding of long-term QOL to improve the informed consent process and post-operative long-term care.

Abstract
Purpose Quality of life (QoL) is widely known to be poor after total pancreatectomy (TP) due to the loss of pancreatic function and poor nutritional status, but prospective studies on changes in QoL over time are lacking. The aim of this study was to prospectively evaluate the short- and long-term consequences of pancreatic exocrine insufficiency, changes in nutritional status, and their associated effects on QoL after TP. Methods Prospective data were collected from patients who underwent TP between 2008 and 2018. Validated questionnaires (European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire [EORTC QLQ] Core 30, EORTC QLQ-pancreatic cancer module, and the Mini Nutritional Assessment), measured frequency of bowel movement, relative body weight (RBW), triceps skinfold thickness (TSFT), and serum levels of protein, albumin, transferrin, and hemoglobin A1c were collected serially for 1 year. Results Thirty patients who underwent TP were eligible for the study. Bowel movement frequency increased over time, and the RBW and TSFT were lowest by 1 year. The global health status score showed no significant difference over time. At 3 months, physical and role function scores as well as symptoms of fatigue, constipation, and digestive difficulties worsened significantly. Most indices recovered after 1 year, but poorer physical function scores, digestive difficulties, and altered bowel habits persisted. Conclusion Because some symptoms do not recover over time, careful follow-up and supportive postoperative management are needed for TP patients, including nutritional support with pancreatic enzyme replacement and education about medication adherence and diet.

Partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer: Improving glycemic control and quality of life without compromising oncological outcomes. World J Gastrointest Surg 2020; 12:491-506. [PMID: 33437401 PMCID: PMC7769744 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v12.i12.491] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2020] [Revised: 09/30/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy (TP) is usually considered a therapeutic option for pancreatic cancer in which Whipple surgery and distal pancreatectomy are undesirable, but brittle diabetes and poor quality of life (QoL) remain major concerns. A subset of patients who underwent TP even died due to severe hypoglycemia. For pancreatic cancer involving the pancreatic head and proximal body but without invasion to the pancreatic tail, we performed partial pancreatic tail preserving subtotal pancreatectomy (PPTP-SP) in selected patients, in order to improve postoperative glycemic control and QoL without compromising oncological outcomes.
AIM To evaluate the efficacy of PPTP-SP for patients with pancreatic cancer.
METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 56 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma who underwent PPTP-SP (n = 18) or TP (n = 38) at our institution from May 2014 to January 2019. Clinical outcomes were compared between the two groups, with an emphasis on oncological outcomes, postoperative glycemic control, and QoL. QoL was evaluated using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC PAN26). All patients were followed until May 2019 or until death.
RESULTS A total of 56 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. Perioperative outcomes, recurrence-free survival, and overall survival were comparable between the two groups. No patients in the PPTP-SP group developed cancer recurrence in the pancreatic tail stump or splenic hilum, or a clinical pancreatic fistula. Patients who underwent PPTP-SP had significantly better glycemic control, based on their higher rate of insulin-independence (P = 0.014), lower hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level (P = 0.046), lower daily insulin dosage (P < 0.001), and less frequent hypoglycemic episodes (P < 0.001). Global health was similar in the two groups, but patients who underwent PPTP-SP had better functional status (P = 0.036), milder symptoms (P = 0.013), less severe diet restriction (P = 0.011), and higher confidence regarding future life (P = 0.035).
CONCLUSION For pancreatic cancer involving the pancreatic head and proximal body, PPTP-SP achieves perioperative and oncological outcomes comparable to TP in selected patients while significantly improving long-term glycemic control and QoL.

[PMID: 32761326 DOI: 10.1245/s10434-020-08957-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The impact of high-volume care in total pancreatectomy (TP) is barely explored since annual numbers are mostly low. This study evaluated surgical outcomes after TP over time in a high-volume center. METHODS All adult patients (age ≥ 18 years) who underwent an elective single-stage TP at Karolinska University Hospital were retrospectively analysed (2008-2017). High volume was defined as > 20 TPs/year. RESULTS Overall, 145 patients after TP were included, including 86 (59.3%) extended resections. Major morbidity was 34.5% (50/145) and 90-day mortality 5.5% (8/145). The relative use of TP within all pancreatectomies increased from 5.4% (63/1175) in 2008-2015 to 17.3% (82/473) in 2016-2017 (p < 0.001). Over time, TP was more often performed to achieve radicality (n = 11, 17.5% to n = 31, 37.8%; p = 0.007). In multivariable logistic regression analysis, an annual TP-volume of > 20 was associated with reduced major morbidity (odds ratio [OR] = 0.225, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.097-0.521; p < 0.001). In the high-volume years (2016-2017), major morbidity (n = 31, 49.2% to n = 19, 23.2%; p = 0.001) and relaparotomy rate (n = 13, 20.6% to n = 5, 6.1%; p = 0.009) improved. Improvements occurred mainly after extended TP, including lower major morbidity (n = 22, 57.9% to n = 12, 25.0%; p = 0.002) and in-hospital mortality (n = 3, 7.9% to n = 0, 0%; p = 0.082). CONCLUSIONS In a single, high-volume center study, an increase in surgical volume of TP was associated with improved perioperative outcomes, especially for extended resections.

Abstract
Background Individuals with a very high lifetime risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma; for example, hereditary pancreatitis and main-duct or mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, may wish to discuss prophylactic total pancreatectomy but strategies to do so are lacking. Objective To develop a shared decision-making programme for prophylactic total pancreatectomy using decision tables. Methods Focus group meetings with patients were used to identify relevant questions. Systematic reviews were performed to answer these questions. Results The first tables included hereditary pancreatitis and main-duct or mixed-type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. No studies focused on prophylactic total pancreatectomy in these groups. In 52 studies (3570 patients), major morbidity after total pancreatectomy was 25% and 30-day mortality was 6%. After minimally invasive total pancreatectomy (seven studies, 35 patients) this was, respectively, 13% and 0%. Exocrine insufficiency-related symptoms occurred in 33%. Quality of life after total pancreatectomy was slightly lower compared with the general population. Conclusion The decision tables can be helpful for discussing prophylactic total pancreatectomy with individuals at high risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Background: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are cystic lesions of the pancreas with malignant potential. The Sendai and Fukuoka criteria offer guidelines for surgical management of an IPMN. Presentation: A 69-year-old patient with a history of recurrent pancreatitis presented with steatorrhea and unintentional weight loss. Upon workup, he was found to have an IPMN, for which he met Sendai and Fukuoka criteria for surgical management. At the time of surgery, the patient's reported operative history was remarkable only for cholecystectomy; however, during the procedure, he was found to have a Roux-en-Y limb of jejunum attached to the head of the pancreas. Postoperative discussion with the patient and family revealed that this was likely the result of a past cystjejunostomy procedure used to drain what may have been a pancreatic pseudocyst that had developed after a bout of severe acute pancreatitis. Ultimately, the previously created Roux-en-Y limb was used in the reconstruction after specimen excision by total pancreatectomy. Conclusions: Main duct IPMNs have a high incidence of carcinoma. Those that meet Sendai and Fukuoka criteria should be surgically managed. In this study we present a case of IPMN management by total pancreatectomy with unique reconstruction using a previously created Roux-en-Y limb.

Abstract
The role of total pancreatectomy (TP) to treat pancreatic carcinoma is still debated. The aims of this study were to systematically review the previous literature and to summarize the indications and results of TP for pancreatic carcinoma. A systematic search was performed to identify all studies published up to November 2018 analyzing the survival of patients undergoing TP for pancreatic carcinoma. Clinical effectiveness was synthetized through a narrative review with full tabulation of results. Six studies published between 2009 and 2016 were retrieved, including 316 patients. The major indication was positive pancreatic margin at frozen section during partial pancreatectomy. The overall morbidity ranged from 36% to 69%, and mortality from 0% to 27%. Overall survival ranged from 52.7% to 67% at 1 year, from 20% to 42% at 3 years of follow-up, whereas the 5-year estimated overall survival ranged from 4.5% to 21.9%. Total pancreatectomy has an important role in the armamentarium of pancreatic surgeons. Postoperative morbidity and mortality are not negligible, but a trend for better postoperative outcomes in recent years is noticed. Mortality related to difficult glycemic control is rare. Long-term survival is comparable with survival after partial pancreatectomy for carcinoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the long-term outcomes of total pancreatectomy in a modern cohort of pancreatic cancer patients and to establish whether any factors identified prior to pancreatic resection were related to poor survival. METHODS We analyzed, retrospectively, patients who underwent total pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer between 2007 and 2016. The short- and long-term outcomes were investigated and Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate the prognostic factors identified before resection. RESULTS The subjects were 49 patients with a mean age of 65 years, who underwent total pancreatectomy in our hospital during the study period. Peritoneal washing cytology was performed in 48 patients, with positive results in 4 (8.3%). There was no 30-day mortality. The median overall survival was 22.5 months, with a 5-year survival rate of 28.5%. Univariate analyses of the pre-resection variables revealed that overall survival was associated with tumor location, resectability classification, maximum standardized uptake value of positron emission tomography, the preoperative carbohydrate antigen 19-9 level, and peritoneal washing cytology status. Multivariate analysis revealed that positive peritoneal washing cytology status and the maximum standardized uptake value were independent predictors of poor survival. CONCLUSION Total pancreatectomy for pancreatic cancer is appropriate for selected patients, but peritoneal washing cytology and positron emission tomography should be performed preoperatively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgeons have traditionally been reluctant to perform total pancreatectomy because of concerns for brittle diabetes and poor quality of life (QoL). Several recent studies have suggested that outcomes following total pancreatectomy have improved, but a systematic review is lacking. METHODS A systematic review was undertaken of studies reporting on outcomes after total pancreatectomy for all indications, except chronic pancreatitis. PubMed, EMBASE (Ovid), and Cochrane Library were searched (2005-2018). Endpoints included functional outcome and QoL. RESULTS A total of 21 studies, including 1536 patients, fulfilled the eligibility criteria. During a median follow-up of 20·8 (range 1·5-96·0) months, 18·6 per cent (45 of 242 patients) were readmitted for endocrine-related morbidity, with associated mortality in 1·6 per cent (6 of 365 patients). No diabetes-related mortality was reported in studies including only patients treated after 2005. Symptoms related to exocrine insufficiency were reported by 43·5 per cent (143 of 329 patients) during a median follow-up of 15·9 (1·5-96·0) months. Overall QoL, reported by 102 patients with a median follow-up of 28·6 (6·0-66·0) months, using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire, showed a moderately reduced summary score of 76 per cent, compared with a general population score of 86 per cent (P = 0·004). CONCLUSION Overall QoL after total pancreatectomy is affected adversely, in particular by the considerable impact of diarrhoea that requires better treatment. There is also room for improvement in the management of diabetes after total pancreatectomy, particularly with regards to prevention of diabetes-related morbidity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The threshold to perform total pancreatectomy is rather high, predominantly because of concerns for long-term consequences of brittle diabetes on patients' quality of life. Contemporary data on postoperative outcomes, diabetes management, and long-term quality of life after total pancreatectomy from large nationwide series are, however, lacking. METHODS We performed a nationwide, retrospective cohort study among adults who underwent total pancreatectomy in 17 Dutch centers (2006-2016). Morbidity and mortality were analyzed, and long-term quality of life was assessed cross-sectionally using the following generic and disease-specific questionnaires: the 5-level version European quality of life 5-dimension and the European Organization for Research and Treatment in Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Cancer. Several questionnaires specifically addressing diabetic quality of life included the Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale 20, the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire-status version, and the Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-II. Results were compared with the general population and patients with type 1 diabetes. RESULTS Overall, 148 patients after total pancreatectomy were included. The annual nationwide volume of total pancreatectomy increased from 5 in 2006 to 32 in 2015 (P < .05). The 30-day and 90-day mortality were 5% and 8%, respectively. The major complication rate was 32%. Quality of life questionnaires were completed by 60 patients (85%, median follow-up of 36 months). Participants reported lower global (73 vs 78, P = .03) and daily health status (0.83 vs 0.87, P < .01) compared to the general population. Quality of life did not differ based on time after total pancreatectomy (<3, 3-5, or >5 years). In general, patients were satisfied with their diabetes therapy and experienced similar diabetes-related distress as patients with type 1 diabetes. CONCLUSION This nationwide study found increased use of total pancreatectomy with a relatively high 90-day mortality. Long-term quality of life was lower compared to the general population, although differences were small. Diabetes-related distress and treatment satisfaction were similar to patients with type 1 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy is required to treat diseases involving the entire pancreas, and is characterized by high morbidity rates and impaired long-term quality of life (QoL). To date, risk factors associated with perioperative and long-term outcomes have not been determined fully. METHODS Data from patients undergoing total pancreatectomy between 2000 and 2014 at two high-volume centres were analysed retrospectively to assess risk factors for major surgical complications. Short Form (SF) 36, European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-PAN26 and Audit of Diabetes Dependent questionnaires, as well as an original survey were used to investigate factors influencing QoL. RESULTS A total of 329 consecutive patients underwent total pancreatectomy in the two centres. Overall, total pancreatectomy was associated with a morbidity rate of 59·3 per cent and a 30-day mortality rate of 2·1 per cent. Age over 65 years and long duration of surgery (more than 420 min) were independently associated with major complications (at least Clavien-Dindo grade III). QoL analysis was available for 94 patients (28·6 per cent) with a median follow-up of 63 (i.q.r. 20-109) months; the most common indication for total pancreatectomy in these patients was intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (46 per cent). Both physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summary scores of SF-36® were lower after total pancreatectomy compared with scores for a normative population (P = 0·020 and P < 0·001 respectively). Linear regression analysis showed that young age, abdominal pain and worse perception of body image were negatively associated with the PCS, whereas diabetes, sexual satisfaction and perception of body image affected MCS. CONCLUSION Total pancreatectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates. Older patients had a higher risk of postoperative complications but reported better QoL than younger patients.

Yang DJ, Xiong JJ, Liu XT, Li J, Dhanushka Layanthi Siriwardena KM, Hu WM. Total pancreatectomy compared with pancreaticoduodenectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Cancer Manag Res 2019; 11:3899-3908. [PMID: 31123419 PMCID: PMC6511256 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s195726] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/23/2018] [Accepted: 03/22/2019] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Aim: To assess whether total pancreatectomy (TP) is as feasible, safe, and efficacious as pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD). Materials and Methods: Major databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus and the Cochrane Library, were searched for studies comparing TP and PD between January 1943 and June 2018. The meta-analysis only included studies that were conducted after 2000. The primary outcomes were morbidity and mortality. Pooled odds ratios (ORs), weighted mean differences (WMDs) or hazard ratios (HRs) with 95 percent confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using fixed effects or random effects models. The methodological quality of the included studies was evaluated by the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Results: In total, 45 studies were included in this systematic review, and 5 non-randomized comparative studies with 786 patients (TP: 270, PD: 516) were included in the meta-analysis. There were no differences in terms of mortality (OR: 1.44, 95% CI: 0.66-3.16; P=0.36), hospital stay (WMD: -0.60, 95% CI: -1.78-0.59; P=0.32) and rates of reoperation (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 0.55-2.31; P=0.75) between the two groups. In addition, morbidity was not significantly different between the two groups (OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.01-1.97; P=0.05); however, the results showed that the TP group tended to have more complications than the PD group. Furthermore, the operation time (WMD: 29.56, 95% CI: 8.23-50.89; P=0.007) was longer in the TP group. Blood loss (WMD: 339.96, 95% CI: 117.74-562.18; P=0.003) and blood transfusion (OR: 4.86, 95% CI: 1.93-12.29; P=0.0008) were more common in the TP group than in the PD group. There were no differences in the long-term survival rates between the two groups. Conclusion: This systematic review and meta-analysis suggested that TP may not be as feasible and safe as PD. However, TP and PD may have the same efficacy.

Surgical management of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with main duct involvement: an international expert survey and case-vignette study. Surgery 2018; 164:S0039-6060(18)30082-5. [PMID: 29778250 DOI: 10.1016/j.surg.2018.01.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2017] [Revised: 01/24/2018] [Accepted: 01/29/2018] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of invasive cancer in resected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with main pancreatic duct involvement is 33%-60%. Most guidelines, therefore, advise resection of main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm and mixed type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in surgically fit patients, although advice on the surgical strategy (partial or total pancreatectomy) differs. We performed a survey amongst international experts to guide the design of future studies and help to prepare for a single international set of guidelines. METHODS An online survey including case vignettes was sent to 221 international experts who had published on main duct/mixed type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm in the previous decade and to all surgeon and gastroenterologist members of the pancreatic cyst guideline committees of the European Study Group and the International Association of Pancreatology. RESULTS Overall, 97 experts (67 surgeons, 30 gastroenterologists) from 19 countries replied (44% response rate). Most (93%) worked in an academic hospital, with a median of 15 years' experience with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm treatment. In main duct/mixed type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm patients with pancreatic duct dilation (>5 mm) in the entire pancreas, 41% (n = 37) advised nonoperative surveillance every 3-6 months, whereas 59% (n = 54) advised operative intervention. Of those who advised operative intervention, 46% (n = 25) would perform a total pancreatectomy and 31% (n = 17) pancreatoduodenectomy with follow-up. No structural differences in advice were seen between surgeons and gastroenterologists, between continents where the respondents lived, and based on years of experience. CONCLUSION This international survey identified a clinically relevant lack of consensus in the treatment strategy in main duct/mixed type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm among experts. Studies with long-term follow-up including quality of life after partial and total pancreatectomy for main duct/mixed type intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm are required.

A Contemporary Evaluation of the Cause of Death and Long-Term Quality of Life After Total Pancreatectomy. World J Surg 2017; 40:2513-8.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Total pancreatectomy (TP) may be considered for diffuse disease of the pancreas. However, the quality of life (QOL) implications of TP have not been well studied in the contemporary era. We report the QOL and cause of death after TP. METHODS 186 patients underwent TP between 2000 and 2013. The 100 who were still alive at last follow-up were sent a questionnaire including the Short Form-36 (SF-36), the Audit of Diabetes Dependent QoL (ADD QoL), and the European Organization for Research and Treatment in Cancer Pancreas 26 (EORTC-PAN-26). The cause of death was determined for the 86 patients who were dead at last follow-up. RESULTS While the majority of deaths of the 86 patients were cancer related (n = 65), only one patient died of diabetes complications. Among the 100 surviving patients, the median follow-up was 5.9 years. Among the 36 patients who responded to the survey, every patient required pancreatic enzymes and insulin; four patients required seven total hospitalizations for hypoglycemia. The SF-36 survey indicated a worse QOL in six domains compared with a national population matched with age and gender. However, only physical and emotional domains were decreased compared with self-matched preoperative state (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively). The ADD QoL survey showed an overall decrease in diabetes-related QoL (p < 0.01). When compared to other types of insulin-dependent diabetes, no significant difference in QoL were found in 14 of 19 domains. The EORTC-PAN-26 survey demonstrated that more than 50 % of patients had moderate to severe changes in three of seven domains. CONCLUSIONS Mortality from diabetic complications following TP is uncommon. The decreasing QoL after TP is comparable to self-matched preoperative assessment or insulin-dependent diabetes from other causes. Accounting for the overall health changes, TP should be considered in carefully selected patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to compare the safety, efficacy, and patients' quality of life with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) versus multiple daily injections (MDIs) in type 3c diabetes mellitus (T3cDM) following total pancreatectomy (TP) and pancreatic enzyme usage. METHODS Thirty-nine patients with T3cDM (18 CSII patients vs 21 MDI patients) who underwent TP between 2000 and 2016 at 3 Harvard-affiliated hospitals and the University of Minnesota returned prospectively obtained questionnaires examining quality of life and both endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions. RESULTS Main indications for TP were as follows: chronic pancreatitis (n = 19), intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (n = 12), and adenocarcinoma (n = 4). Median hemoglobin A1c using MDIs was 8.1% versus 7.3% in CSII. Severe hypoglycemic events using MDIs were increased compared with CSII (P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in quality-of-life measures with CSII versus MDIs. Pancreatic enzyme dose per meal (P < 0.05) differed between the hospitals. Gastrointestinal symptoms and unintended weight loss (P < 0.01) were more common with low doses of pancreatic enzymes. CONCLUSIONS After TP, CSII therapy is safe compared with MDIs in T3cDM and not associated with an increase in severe hypoglycemic events. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is highly variable with low doses associated with unintentional weight loss and gastrointestinal symptoms.

Abstract
AIM To describe the indications, technique and outcomes of the novel surgical procedure of duodenum and ventral pancreas preserving subtotal pancreatectomy (DVPPSP).
METHODS Data collected retrospectively from 43 patients who underwent DVPPSP and TP between 2009 and 2015 in our single centre were analysed. For enrolment, only patients with low-grade pancreatic neoplasms, such as pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs), and solid pseudo-papillary tumors, were included. Ten DVPPSP (group 1) and 13 TP (group 2) patients were selected in this study.
RESULTS There were no significant differences in age, gender, comorbidities, preoperative symptoms, American Society of Anesthesiologists score or indications for surgery between the two groups. The most common indication was IPMN for DVPPSP and TP (60% vs 85%, P = 0.411). Compared with the TP group, the DVPPSP group had comparable postoperative morbidities (P = 0.405) and mortalities (both nil), but significantly shorter operative time (232 ± 19.6 min vs 335 ± 32.3 min, P < 0.001). DVPPSP preserved better long-term pancreatic function with less supplementary therapy (P < 0.001) and better quality of life (QoL) after surgery, including better scores in social (P = 0.042) and global health (P = 0.047) on functional scales and less appetite loss (P = 0.049) on the symptom scale.
CONCLUSION DVPPSP is a feasible and safe procedure that could be an alternative to TP for low-grade neoplasms arising from the body and tail region but across the neck region of the pancreas; DVPPSP had better metabolic function and QoL after surgery.

Abstract
PURPOSE Indications for total pancreatectomy (TP) have increased, including for diffuse main duct intrapapillary mucinous neoplasms of the pancreas and malignancy; therefore, the need persists for surgeons to develop appropriate endocrine post-operative management strategies. The brittle diabetes after TP differs from type 1/2 diabetes in that patients have absolute deficiency of insulin and functional glucagon. This makes glucose management challenging, complicates recovery, and predisposes to hospital readmissions. This article aims to define the disease, describe the cause for its occurrence, review the anatomy of the endocrine pancreas, and explain how this condition differs from diabetes mellitus in the setting of post-operative management. The morbidity and mortality of post-TP endocrine insufficiency and practical treatment strategies are systematically reviewed from the literature. Finally, an evidence-based treatment algorithm is created for the practicing pancreatic surgeon and their care team of endocrinologists to aid in managing these complex patients. METHODS A PubMed, Science Citation Index/Social sciences Citation Index, and Cochrane Evidence-Based Medicine database search was undertaken along with extensive backward search of the references of published articles to identify studies evaluating endocrine morbidity and treatment after TP and to establish an evidence-based treatment strategy. RESULTS Indications for TP and the etiology of pancreatogenic diabetes are reviewed. After TP, ~80% patients develop hypoglycemic episodes and 40% experience severe hypoglycemia, resulting in 0-8% mortality and 25-45% morbidity. Referral to a nutritionist and endocrinologist for patient education before surgery followed by surgical reevaluation to determine if the patient has the appropriate understanding, support, and resources preoperatively has significantly reduced morbidity and mortality. The use of modern recombinant long-acting insulin analogues, continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion, and glucagon rescue therapy has greatly improved management in the modern era and constitute the current standard of care. A simple immediate post-operative algorithm was constructed. CONCLUSION Successful perioperative surgical management of total pancreatectomy and resulting pancreatogenic diabetes is critical to achieve acceptable post-operative outcomes, and we review the pertinent literature and provide a simple, evidence-based algorithm for immediate post-resection glycemic control.

Abstract
RATIONALE Carcinosarcoma, an extremely rare pancreatic primary tumor, is characterized by coexistence of both carcinomatous and sarcomatous components. Due to its rarity, the clinical manifestation and imaging features have not been recognized. An accurate diagnostic method has not been available and a widely accepted guidelines instructing treatment has not been established. PATIENT CONCERNS We present an uncommon case of pancreatic carcinosarcoma (PCS) which has been preoperatively diagnosed as pancreatic malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. A radical resection, including total pancreatectomy (TP) and splenectomy, was performed. DIAGNOSIS The diagnosis of PCS was confirmed by postoperative pathology. INTERVENTIONS A radical resection, including TP and splenectomy, was performed. The patient was followed up by abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan and blood tumor marker examination. OUTCOMES The patient is still alive and self-sufficient 7 months after the surgery. No evidence of tumor recurrence is found during follow-up. LESSONS Although, until recently, there are no widely accepted guidelines instructing treatment for PCS, a radical resection is still a possible way. All the pancreatic neoplastic patients with high surgical risk should be transferred to a specialized high-volume pancreatic center to get precise preoperative evaluation, fine operation technique, and careful postoperative management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The majority of patients who have undergone a pancreatic resection for pancreatic cancer develop disease recurrence within two years. In around 30% of these patients, isolated local recurrence (ILR) is found. The aim of this study was to systematically review treatment options for this subgroup of patients. METHODS A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library. Studies reporting on the treatment of ILR after initial curative-intent resection of primary pancreatic cancer were included. Primary endpoints were morbidity, mortality and survival after ILR treatment. RESULTS After screening 1152 studies, 18 studies reporting on 313 patients undergoing treatment for ILR were included. Treatment options for ILR included surgical re-resection (8 studies, 100 patients), chemoradiotherapy (7 studies, 153 patients) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (4 studies, 60 patients). Morbidity and mortality were reported for re-resection (29% and 1%, respectively), chemoradiotherapy (54% and 0%) and SBRT (3% and 1%). Most patients had a prolonged disease-free interval before recurrence. Median survival after treatment of ILR of up to 32, 19 and 16 months was reported for re-resection, chemoradiotherapy and SBRT, respectively. CONCLUSION In selected patients, treatment of ILR following pancreatic resection for pancreatic cancer seems safe, feasible and associated with relatively good survival.

Abstract
RATIONALE Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy is a complicated surgical procedure and rarely been reported. This study was conducted to investigate the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic total pancreatectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Three patients underwent laparoscopic total pancreatectomy between May 2014 and August 2015. We reviewed their general demographic data, perioperative details, and short-term outcomes. General morbidity was assessed using Clavien-Dindo classification and delayed gastric emptying (DGE) was evaluated by International Study Group of Pancreatic Surgery (ISGPS) definition. DIAGNOSIS AND OUTCOMES The indications for laparoscopic total pancreatectomy were intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) (n = 2) and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (PNET) (n = 1). All patients underwent laparoscopic pylorus and spleen-preserving total pancreatectomy, the mean operative time was 490 minutes (range 450-540 minutes), the mean estimated blood loss was 266 mL (range 100-400 minutes); 2 patients suffered from postoperative complication. All the patients recovered uneventfully with conservative treatment and discharged with a mean hospital stay 18 days (range 8-24 days). The short-term (from 108 to 600 days) follow up demonstrated 3 patients had normal and consistent glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level with acceptable quality of life. LESSONS Laparoscopic total pancreatectomy is feasible and safe in selected patients and pylorus and spleen preserving technique should be considered. Further prospective randomized studies are needed to obtain a comprehensive understanding the role of laparoscopic technique in total pancreatectomy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Total pancreatectomy (TP) for pancreatic neoplasms is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. However, with recent advances in surgical techniques and improved postoperative management, the number of cases with clinical indications for TP is increasing. Here, we evaluated the clinical outcomes post-TP. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients (n = 41) who underwent TP between 2004 and 2011 at Tokyo Women's Medical University were retrospectively examined. Pre- and postoperative clinicophysiological data were collected up to 12 months post-TP and then analyzed. RESULTS Only glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), percentage of lymphocytes and hepatic Hounsfield unit level on computed tomography (CT) were significantly different between the preoperative state and at 12 months post-TP, while other clinicophysiological parameters remained unchanged. The quantity of the pancreatic enzyme administered significantly influenced glycemic control at 12 months post-TP (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS All clinicophysiological parameters except for HbA1c were temporarily decreased after TP but normalized by 12 months. Thus, TP is a feasible surgical approach to treating pancreatic neoplasms with the potential to spread across the entire pancreas when adequately supplemented by synthetic insulin and pancreatic enzymes.

Abstract
Total pancreatectomy is associated with short- and long-term high complication rate and without evidence of oncologic advantages. Several metabolic consequences are co-related with the apancreatic state. The unstable diabetes related to the total resection of the pancreas expose the patients to short- and long-term life-threatening complications. Severe hypoglycemia is a short-term dangerous complication that can also cause patients’ death. Chronic complications of severe diabetes (cardiac and vascular diseases, neuropathy, nephropathy, and retinopathy) are also cause of morbidity, mortality and worsening of quality of life. For this reasons the number of total pancreatectomies performed has certainly decreased over time. However, today there are still some indications for this kind of procedures. Chronic pancreatitis untreatable with conventional treatments, surgical treatment of precancerous pancreatic lesions, surgical treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer and the management of patients with extraordinary high-risk pancreatic texture after pancreaticoduodenectomy represent possible indications for total pancreatectomy and are analyzed in the present paper.

Is total pancreatectomy as feasible, safe, efficacious, and cost-effective as pancreaticoduodenectomy? A single center, prospective, observational study. J Gastrointest Surg 2016; 20:1595-607. [PMID: 27418262 DOI: 10.1007/s11605-016-3201-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2016] [Accepted: 06/24/2016] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total pancreatectomy is actually considered a viable option in selected patients even if large comparative studies between partial versus total pancreatectomy are not currently available. Our aim was to evaluate whether total pancreatectomy can be considered as feasible, safe, efficacious, and cost-effective as pancreaticoduodenectomy. METHODS A single center, prospective, observational trial, regarding postoperative outcomes, long-term results, and cost-effectiveness, in a tertiary referral center was conducted, comparing consecutive patients who underwent elective total pancreatectomy and/or pancreaticoduodenectomy. RESULTS Seventy-three consecutive elective total pancreatectomies and 184 pancreaticoduodenectomies were compared. There were no significant differences regarding postoperative outcomes and overall survival. The quality of life, evaluated in 119 patients according to the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire, showed that there were no significant differences regarding the five items considered. The mean EQ-5D-5L score was similar in the two procedures (total pancreatectomy = 0.872, range 0.345-1.000; pancreaticoduodenectomy = 0.832, range 0.393-1.000; P = 0.320). The impact of diabetes according to the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID) questionnaire did not show any significant differences except for question 13 (total pancreatectomy = 0.60; pancreaticoduodenectomy = 0.19; P = 0.022). The cost-effectiveness analysis suggested that the quality-adjusted life year was not significantly different between the two procedures (total pancreatectomy = 0.910, range 0.345-1.000; pancreaticoduodenectomy = 0.910, range -0.393-1.000; P = 0.320). CONCLUSIONS From this study, it seems reasonable to suggest that total pancreatectomy can be considered as safe, feasible, and efficacious as PD and acceptable in terms of cost-effectiveness.

Abstract
Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are cystic precursors to pancreatic cancer believed to arise within a widespread neoplastic field defect. The tendency for some patients to present with multifocal disease and/or develop additional lesions over time argues in favor of a field defect and complicates surgical management decisions. Surgery usually consists of partial pancreatic resection, which leaves behind a pancreatic remnant at risk for recurrent disease and progression to cancer. As an alternative, total pancreatectomy (TP) provides the most complete oncologic resection, but postoperative morbidity and quality of life (QoL) issues have generally limited its use to only the highest risk patients. Significant progress has been made in the management of the post-TP apancreatic state and studies now show less morbidity with acceptable QoL comparable to type 1 diabetic and post-pancreaticoduodenectomy patients. These improvements do not yet justify the routine use of TP, but they have opened the door for expansion to additional subsets of non-invasive IPMN. Here, we have identified several groups of patients that we believe would benefit from TP over partial resection based on the most current literature.

Second primary pancreatic ductal carcinoma in the remnant pancreas after pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal carcinoma: High cumulative incidence rates at 5 years after pancreatectomy. Pancreatology 2016; 16:615-20. [PMID: 27237099 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2016.05.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2016] [Revised: 03/08/2016] [Accepted: 05/06/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the incidence rate and clinical features of second primary pancreatic ductal carcinoma (SPPDC) in the remnant pancreas after pancreatectomy for pancreatic ductal carcinoma (PDC). METHODS Data of patients undergoing R0 resection for PDC at a single high-volume center were reviewed. SPPDC was defined as a tumor in the remnant pancreas after R0 resection for PDC, and SPPDC met at least one of the following conditions: 1) the time interval between initial pancreatectomy and development of a new tumor was 3 years or more; 2) the new tumor was not located in contact with the pancreatic stump. We investigated the clinical features and treatment outcomes of patients with SPPDC. RESULTS This study included 130 patients who underwent surgical resection for PDC between 2005 and 2014. Six (4.6%) patients developed SPPDC. The cumulative 3- and 5-year incidence rates were 3.1% and 17.7%, respectively. Four patients underwent remnant pancreatectomy for SPPDC. They were diagnosed with the disease in stage IIA or higher and developed recurrence within 6 months after remnant pancreatectomy. One patient received carbon ion radiotherapy and survived 45 months. One patient refused treatment and died 19 months after the diagnosis of SPPDC. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of SPPDC is not negligible, and the cumulative 5-year incidence rate of SPPDC is markedly high. Post-operative surveillance of the remnant pancreas is critical for the early detection of SPPDC, even in long-term survivors after PDC resection.

Is screening for pancreatic cancer in high-risk groups cost-effective? - Experience from a Danish national screening program. Pancreatology 2016; 16:584-92. [PMID: 27090585 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2016.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 40] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2015] [Revised: 03/17/2016] [Accepted: 03/19/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pancreatic cancer (PC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide, symptoms are few and diffuse, and when the diagnosis has been made only 10-15% would benefit from resection. Surgery is the only potentially curable treatment for pancreatic cancer, and the prognosis seems to improve with early detection. A hereditary component has been identified in 1-10% of the PC cases. To comply with this, screening for PC in high-risk groups with a genetic disposition for PC has been recommended in research settings. DESIGN Between January 2006 and February 2014 31 patients with Hereditary pancreatitis or with a disposition of HP and 40 first-degree relatives of patients with Familial Pancreatic Cancer (FPC) were screened for development of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) with yearly endoscopic ultrasound. The cost-effectiveness of screening in comparison with no-screening was assessed by the incremental cost-utility ratio (ICER). RESULTS By screening the FPC group we identified 2 patients with PDAC who were treated by total pancreatectomy. One patient is still alive, while the other died after 7 months due to cardiac surgery complications. Stratified analysis of patients with HP and FPC provided ICERs of 47,156 US$ vs. 35,493 US$ per life-year and 58,647 US$ vs. 47,867 US$ per QALY. Including only PDAC related death changed the ICER to 31,722 US$ per life-year and 42,128 US$ per QALY. The ICER for patients with FPC was estimated at 28,834 US$ per life-year and 38,785 US$ per QALY. CONCLUSIONS With a threshold value of 50,000 US$ per QALY this screening program appears to constitute a cost-effective intervention although screening of HP patients appears to be less cost-effective than FPC patients.

Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) with high-grade dysplasia is a risk factor for the subsequent development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. HPB (Oxford) 2016; 18:236-46. [PMID: 27017163 PMCID: PMC4814593 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2015.10.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 70] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2015] [Accepted: 08/16/2015] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-invasive intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) with high-grade dysplasia and IPMN-associated invasive pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are frequently included under the term "malignancy". The goal of this study is to clarify the difference between these two entities. METHODS From 1996 to 2013, data of 616 patients who underwent pancreatic resection for an IPMN were reviewed. RESULTS The median overall survival for patients with IPMN with high-grade dysplasia (92 months) was similar to survival for patients with IPMN with low/intermediate-grade dysplasia (118 months, p = 0.081), and superior to that of patients with IPMN-associated PDAC (29 months, p < 0.001). IPMN-associated PDAC had lymph node metastasis in 53%, perineural invasion in 58%, and vascular invasion in 33%. In contrast, no lymph node metastasis, perineural or vascular invasion was observed with high-grade dysplasia. None of the patients with IPMN with high-grade dysplasia developed recurrence outside the remnant pancreas. In stark contrast 58% of patients with IPMN-associated PDAC recurred outside the remnant pancreas. The rate of progression within the remnant pancreas was significant in patients with IPMN with high-grade (24%) and with low/intermediate dysplasia (22%, p = 0.816). CONCLUSION Non-invasive IPMN with high-grade dysplasia should not be considered a malignant entity. Compared to patients with IPMN with low/intermediate-grade dysplasia, those with high-grade dysplasia have an increased risk of subsequent development of PDAC in the remnant pancreas.
