3 Emergency surgery for severe pancreatitis Pre 80-Hour Work Week Eat when you can Sleep when you can Don t t operate on the pancreas Post 80-Hour Work Week Eat three square meals a day, high fiber, low fat Sleep 7.5 to 9 hours a night When you can, operate on the pancreas

9 Spectrum of Disease Pancreatitis Interstitial / Edematous 80% Mortality=1% Necrosis 20% Non-infected Mortality=10% Infected necrosis (1-3 weeks) Mortality > 25% Pancreatic abscess (4-8 weeks) Resolving (1-16 weeks) Non-resolving sequestrum, symptomatic (4-12 weeks) Phlegmon = resolving necrosis Hemorrhagic = ischemic Pancreatitis---- specify Necrotizing ----includes peripancreatic necrosis

10 Sequelae / Complications Pseudocyst Pancreatic ascites Duct disruption Fistula Bleeding

11

12 Initial / Early Therapy Fluid resuscitation Monitoring: prognostic criteria helpful, but early course most informative Assess and reassess for ICU admission, transfer NPO** +/- NGT: emesis, nausea, distension Stress ulcer and DVT prophylaxis Glycemic control

13 Initial / Early Therapy: Special Considerations Nutrition Gallstone pancreatitis: : role of ERCP Surgery: any role early? Use of prophylactic antibiotics

14 Early Therapy: Nutrition Enteral feeds preferential over parenteral Jejunal feeds do not stimulate pancreas exocrine function (Nathens( Nathens AB. Crit Care Med 2004;32(12): ) Facts Early nutrition prudent TPN is not poison, but not as good as enteric feeds Early NJ feeds

15 PN vs Enteral nutrition: Risk of infection, complications other than infection, surgical intervention,and mortality Marik PE. Meta-analysis of parenteral nutrition versus enteral nutrition in patients with acute pancreatitis. BMJ Jun 12;328(7453):1407. Epub 2004 Jun 2

17 Early Therapy: Nutrition Considerations Gastric ileus?? Nausea, emesis, large, fluid filled stomach on XR, CT. Abdominal distension? Abdominal compartment syndrome / htn? Respiratory insufficiency? Fluid overload? Degree of SIRS?

18 Heyland, Crit Care Med 1998 PN vs Nothing

19 PN versus nothing Sandstrom et al: randomized TPN vs glucose post-op; op; continued until po intake tolerated Mortality rate threefold higher (p < 0.15) in glucose-treated patients versus TPN-treated patients (n=2 and 6) No differences in other outcomes, including infectious complications Sandstrom. Ann Surg, 1993.

20 ERCP in Acute Pancreatitis: : CBD Obstruction CBD obstruction: urgent ERC (Nathens( Nathens; Uhl) Neoptolemos: : n=11 with cholangitis complication rate was significantly lower after ERC (15% versus 60%, P 0.003) CBD exploration versus ERCP

21 ERCP in Non Obstructing Severe Gallstone Pancreatitis Fan et al found a reduction in biliary sepsis in patients with severe biliary AP Meta-analysis analysis by Sharma and Howden,, N=4 randomized trials demonstrated significantly lower morbidity (38.5% versus 25%; P 0.001) and mortality (9.1% versus 5.2%; P 0.05) rates following early ERC compared with interval ERC. Nonobstructing: : controversial, but data supportive of early ERCP in severe AP Diagnosis in question: EUS potentially helpful

22 ERCP Induced Pancreatitis Increased risk in SOD, if pancreatic duct cannulated (pre-existent existent duct htn), small duct or recurrent attempts at cannulation Overall=5.4%; 30-45% asymptomatic hyperamylasemia

23 Cholecystectomy after ERC ERC ES versus ERC ES followed by LC in patients with ASA scores I to III If LC was performed within 6 weeks after ES, recurrent biliary symptoms occurred less often within 2 years (47% versus 2%, P ) Conversion from lap to open chole higher in wait and see group (55% vs 23%) Boerma Lancet 2002

25 Antibiotic Prophylaxis: Meta- Analysis Heinrich. Ann Surg 2006

26 Antibiotic Prophylaxis: Conclusions Antibiotic prophylaxis for infected necrosis may reduce sepsis and mortality Imipenem may reduce infection of necrosis Use of imipenem for pancreatic necrosis appropriate and recommended

27 Outcomes for Pancreatitis by Type: Rates of Organ Failure death rate was 1.8% (1/56) in patients with sterile necrosis managed without surgery versus 24% (7/29) in patients with infected necrosis (P <.01). Buchler: Ann Surg, Volume 232(5).November

28 Necrotizing Pancreatitis

29 Surgical management of severe pancreatitis including sterile necrosis Hartwig W.J Hepatobiliary Pancreat Surg 2002:9: Due to improved intensive care treatment, including prophylactic antibiotics, surgical intervention is usually not indicated in the t early course of severe acute pancreatitis. Surgery is clearly indicated in patients with proven infected necrosis. Patients with sterile necrosis should undergo surgery when there is no clinical improvement within 4 weeks of intensive care treatment. In the majority of patients a single intervention is sufficient. Re-operation is rare even in patients with abscess formation because these can easily be drained interventionally

30 Necrotizing Pancreatitis: : operative therapy? Bradley (1991): nonsurgical management of sterile necrosis n=11; mortality=0% Alexandre: : 60% mortality with necrosectomy (World J Surg 1981; 5: ) Teerenhovi,, n=84 and Smadja failed to show benefit for necrosis (Br J Surg 1986; 73: & Br J Surg 1988; 75: 793-5)

31 Timing of Surgical Intervention: Mortality by Presence of Organ Failure Timing of Surgical Intervention in Necrotizing Pancreatitis Besselink ARCH SURG/VOL 142 (NO. 12), DEC 2007

32 Timing of Surgical Intervention Randomization to either early (within hours, n =25) or late necrosectomy (more than 12 days, n =15) Indication = MOF with clinical deterioration despite maximal intensive care (NOT proof infection) Late: 3/15 recovered Terminated as OR death = 3.4 for early group Mortality: Early: 56% Late: 27% Mier J Early versus late necrosectomy in severe necrotizing pancreatitis. Am J Surg. 1997;173:71 75.

33 Timing and Indications for Operative Intervention Operate only for infected necrosis confirmed by FNA Do not operate right away Exceptions: Compartment syndrome Prolonged course pancreatic necrosis without evidence of infection or improvement

34 Abdominal Compartment Syndrome: Definition Sustained intra-abdominal abdominal hypertension leading to Local & remote organ failure Hemodynamic compromise Inability to ventilate Oliguria Usually requires operative decompression Wittmann DH, Iskander GA. The compartment syndrome of the abdominal cavity: a state of the art review. J Intensive Care Med 2000;15:

37 Right Here!!

38 Pancreatic Compartment Syndrome

39 Technique of Debridement Closed cavity Lavage Open abdomen Surgical drainage Pancreatic resection

40 Initial Operative Approach Midline incision (maintain lateral abd wall for drains, stoma) Full exposure pancreas Check the gallbladder Cholecystectomy / CBD exploration if necessary Drains Extensive necrosectomy CT is roadmap Paracolic gutters Suprapancreatic space Base of mesentery

41 Operative management of pancreatic necrosis Past Bilateral subcostal incision Wide mobilization of pancreas in lesser sac Cholecystectomy Cholangiogram T-Tube Tube Placement Feeding jejunostomy Marsupialization or wide drainage of pancreatic bed Present Midline incision Necrosectomy though transverse mesocolon to left of middle colic vessels Closed suction drainage of pancreatic bed

42 Surgical Approach Single necrosectomy with primary abdominal wall closure versus 1-21 takebacks and sump drains probably preferable Cater to patient and expertise of surgeons

Surg Endosc 2001;15: Using combination of percutanious drains and post-drain CT scan, ports are placed and retroperitoneoscopic debridement of the necrosectum is performed under direct visualization.

69 Multidisciplinary Approach The repeat CT: coordinated care

70 Field Surgery in Total War Douglas W. Jolly, 1939 The recovery rate in abdominal injuries depends less on the individual ability of the surgeon than on any other single factor in the forward system. In fact, young, comparatively inexperienced surgeons working well within the five-hour period can usually show far better figures than more practiced surgeons who are condemned to operate on similar injuries further back. An all important factor is the system, not the surgeon.
