ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TP-IAT) is an uncommon surgical procedure with unique perioperative management. We evaluated the short- and long-term morbidity and mortality of TP-IAT to optimize surgical technique and heparin dosing during islet autotransplantation.METHODS:
Eighty patients with chronic pancreatitis undergoing TP-IAT were reviewed. Primary outcome was to evaluate morbidity and mortality based on operative technique classic (resection of antrum) vs pylorus-preserving. Secondary outcome was to evaluate the effect of heparin dosing (<60 vs ≥ 60 units/kg) during islet autotransplantation on postoperative hemorrhage and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) rates.RESULTS:
There was no 90-day mortality, and median length of stay was 9 days. All patients underwent an open operation with 53 (66%) pylorus-preserving resections. The 30-day morbidity rate was 39%, with no difference between operative technique (p = 0.82). The median dose was different for each heparin group (<60 52 units/kg vs ≥ 60 66 units/kg, p < 0.0001). No difference was observed in postoperative hemorrhage rates between heparin groups (<60 9% vs ≥ 60 9%, p = 0.97), with no known incidence of PVT. Median follow-up was 36 months (IQR, 14-71). Morbidity >30 days after TP-IAT was 43% with a higher rate in the pylorus-preserving group (55% vs 15%, p < 0.0001), mainly attributed to marginal ulcer formation (15% vs 0%, p = 0.03).CONCLUSIONS:
A classic TP-IAT technique should be universally adopted to achieve optimal outcomes, particularly to prevent the formation of marginal ulcers. When considering PVT versus postoperative hemorrhage risk, a lower heparin dose nearing 50 units/kg is optimal. These findings highlight potential areas for future improvement.Palavras-chave
