Abstract
Objectives: Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplant (TPIAT) is important therapy for select chronic pancreatitis (CP) patients. The specialized technique of islet isolation limits widespread TPIAT use. We hypothesized that remote islet isolation provides satisfactory islet yield and perioperative outcomes.
Methods: A retrospective review of TPIAT patients between 2020 and 2022 was conducted. Islet isolation was performed off-site, with percutaneous intraportal islet autotransplant (IAT) completed the morning following pancreatectomy. Demographics and perioperative outcomes were analyzed.
Results: Fourteen patients underwent TPIAT; median age was 43 (interquartile range, 12.5) years. Operation occurred 7.5 (14.8) years after pancreatitis diagnosis. The most common pancreatitis etiology was genetic (50%). All patients underwent preoperative endoscopic therapy; three underwent prior pancreatectomy. Operative time was 236 (51) minutes; subsequent percutaneous IAT time was 87 (35) minutes. The islet equivalent (IEQ)/kilogram (kg) yield was 3456 (3815) IEQ/kg. Nine patients had positive islet cultures. Two thromboembolic events and one bacteremia occurred. One perihepatic hematoma occurred after percutaneous portal venous access. The median postoperative length of stay was 14.5 days, and five patients (36%) were readmitted within 90 days. All patients were discharged home on insulin. No mortality occurred.
Conclusions: Total pancreatectomy with remote islet isolation provides excellent islet yield for autotransplant and satisfactory perioperative outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Pancreas provides a central forum for communication of original works involving both basic and clinical research on the exocrine and endocrine pancreas and their interrelationships and consequences in disease states. This multidisciplinary, international journal covers the whole spectrum of basic sciences, etiology, prevention, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and surgical and medical management of pancreatic diseases, including cancer.
