DR Fiaz Maqbool Fazili Lecturer, SIMS What Surgeons Should Know About Pancreatitis
MAGNITUDE OF THE PROBLEM • The disease may be mild and self limiting, 70-80% take course of edematous interstitial inflammation • Necrotizing pancreatitis develops in 20-25% pts . • 20-30% will develop local or systemic complications • Approx 1 in 4 pts who develop complications will die
WHAT IS THE BASIS OF PROBLEMS(PATHOLOGY) • NP shows interstitial edematous inflammation with EXTENSIVE NECROSIS OF PANCREATIC EXOCRINE AND ENDOCRINE PARENCHYMA,fatty necrosis of peripancreatic and retroperitoneal tissue compartment
PATHOLOGY (CONTD) • Peripancreatic fluid collection of phospholipase,endtotoxin,prostacyclin, activated trypsin (TAP\) ,complement, thromboxane,elastase,TNFRand IL-6,8 • Others(vasoactive and toxic substances
AP & QUESTIONS • WHAT IS THE CORRCT DIAGNOSIS? • What is the prognosis? • Are complications developing? • Can an associated condition to be identified? • What is the ideal timing for surgery?
OBJECTIVE • To give pts of AP best chance of survival, from the outset to be managed by surgeon • Identification of pts likely to develop complications • Management (prevention)of systemic complications • Timing and choice for surgical Intervention for gall stones or local complications
PANCREATITIS (terminology) • MILD-uncomplicated recovery • SEVERE-AP with evidenceoffailure of one or more systems ,or local complication. • These terms are defined retrospectively,when outcome is known • Prospectively defined on the basis of scoring systems.Predicted Mildor Predicted Severe
ACUTE PANCREATITS-various terms • COMPLICATED-local or systemic complications • EDEMATOUS-Swollen, red ,with or without fat necrosis;Histology fluid,debris,leukocytes present • PERIPANCREATIC NECROSIS-Necrosis of retroperitoneal fat, other organs rarely involved, occasionally infarction by vascular thrombosis.This change may be present alone or may coexist with or be absent in presence of pancreatic necrosis
ACUTE NECROTIZING PANCREATITITS • Definition • Diagnosis CRITERIA • Conservative approach or Surgical Intervention
AP-local complications ……contd • Pancreatic necrosis; • Patchy or diffuse superficial or parenchymal necrosis, unequivocally demonstrated by inspection after opening of the pancreatic capsule , or histological criteria; local or diffuse areas of non enhancement on CT, sterile necrosis • Infected pancreatic necrosis; Necrosis with positive bacterial cultures • Pancreatic abscess;Loculated walled off collections of pus as a late complication of AP, usually after 3 weeks
MANIFESTATIONS OF AP • LOCAL; • MILD; • EDEMA, INFLAMMATION, NECROSIS • SEVERE; • PHLEGMON, NECROSIS, HYG, INFECTION, FLUID COLLECTION, ABSCESS
A p MANIFESTATIONS(C0NT • Extension into ; • Retoperitoneum,perirenal spaces, mesocolon, major and minor omentum, mediastinum.
Bacterial contamination • Risk of bacterial infection on necrotic tissue • 60% in proven cases of NP • Risk in ist week =25% • Risk in 2nd week = 35-40% • Risk in 3rd week =60% • Organisms are Gram negative E-coli,Proteus,Pseudomonas,staphylococci
SYSTEMIC COMPLICATIONS • Respiratory-Interstitial pulmonary edema;gas transfer impairment,Pt may need ventilation • Renal-oliguria-require aggressive circulatory support,#Dialysis • Cardiovascular-Hypotension, edema,aggressive fluid therapy and Ionotropes • Disturbance in Haemopoiesis, Coagulation system, Endocrine systems

Enlargement of Gland Ill defined margins Abnormal enhancement Thickening of peripancreatic planes Blurring of fat planes Intra & retroperitoneal fluid collection Pleural effusion Pancreatic gas indicative of necrosis /abscess Pseudocyst formation CT findings in Acute Pancreatitis
Indications of ERCP; In AP • Preop evaluation with suspected traumatic pancreatitis to see Pancreatic duct disruption • Pts with suspected biliary Pancreatitis and severe disease and not clinically improving by 24hrs after admission. Do ERCP for stone extraction
ERCP-indications (contd • In pts >40 with no identifiable disease to rule out occult CBD stones,pancreatic or ampullary Ca or other causes of obstruction; • Pts <40 at a post Cholecystectomy status or more than one attacks of unexplained pancreatitis
SYSTEMIC TREATMENTS • Basic principles-ICU,Rest GIT and Pancreas,analgesia,oxygenation • Pancreatic inhibition(Glucagon,Somatostatin) • Antiproteases • Antibiotics(cefuroxime) • LEXIPAFANT • Lavage • Nutrition (Enteral route is safe& preferred ) • Thoracic duct drainage
LEXIPAFANT-PAF antagonist • Cause of organ failure and tissue damage in AP is activation of immune system involving interactions of cytokines and mediators.Role of PAF platelet activating factor is evident in pancreatic injury and SIRS • LAXIPAFANT is PAF antagonist; Results are encouraging ;They reduce severity of organ failure. If given within 72 hrs
Operative Measures For AP • A.Diagnostic laparotomy • B.To limit the severity of pancreatic inflammation • Biliary operations • C.To interrupt the pathogenesis of complications • Pancreatic drainage • Pancreatic resection • Peritoneal drainage
Operative measures(contg) • D.To support the patient and treat complications • Drainage of pancreatic abscesses • Feeding jejunostomy • To prevent recurrent pancreatitis
Diagnostic uncertainty Gall stone induced pancreatitis Pancreatic drainage and defunctioning Pancreatic resection Peritoneal Lavage Operation for complications Indications Of Surgical intervention
GALL STONE PANCREATITIS • TIMING OF SURGERY • TRADITIONAL APPROACH • EARLY OR DELAYED • TWO DAYS OR TWO WEEKS
Bile duct stones-strategy • Acosta (1974), recovered gall stones from Faeces of pts with gall stone pancreatitis. • Neptolemos (1989) ;Passage of stone through ampulla precipitates pancreatitis attack, persistence of stones in CBD; Pt is at risk of complications and death • Early surgery or to deal with CBD stones endoscopically(ERCP)14 %pts of AP have coexisting cholangitis
Early or Delayed OPERATION • Pts who have early Cholecystectomy (48hrs) of admission with AP as compared to pts who were treated conservatively, D/C and readmission . Mort was 2% in early surgery group and 16 % in retrospective group, (same adm OR) • Ideal timing ;Those who Advocate early OR, say that it removes potential septic focus in GB ,remove CBD stones causing CBD obst and pptng pancreatitis,Thus shortens hospital stay
EARLY OR DELAYED SURGERY • Early operation ;good results mortality only2%(same admission Cholecystectomy) • Delayed surgery mort 16% • Ideal timing?still debatable
DELAYED OPERATION • Delay operation(until 7 to 10days) till acute attack subsides • Most of CBD stones will pass spontaneously and don’t need OR • Most pts have mild pancreatitis and don’t need early OR,( indeed there won be evidence of inflammation till one week ) • Complications of early operation are high
Timing OF Operation IN Gall Stone Pancreatitis • Mild pancreatitis:Operated At Any Stage during first admission • Severe disease.Cholecystectomy during first admission, timing depends on clinical indicators
Timing of Surgery-contd • RECOVERING PT.Allow pt to settle completely before elective early operation is taken prior to discharge. • UNSTABLE PT- Who will require surgery to deal with local complications of pancreas, Cholecystectomy to be performed at this time • Early Cholecystectomy within 48-72 hours of admission is best avoided in these all patients
NON respondents of medical treatment • Persistent or increase signs of pulmonary, Renal or cardio vascular insufficiency, • Develops sepsis syndrome during max of 3 days of ICU, PT belongs to non responders with high risk of morbidity and mortality. • Switch from Medical to surgical treatment.
Clinical criteria Surgical acute abdomen Sepsis syndrome Shock syndrome Non response to ICU Morphologic +Bacteriologic Infected necroses Extended pancreatic necrosis>50% Extnd. intrapancreatic +retroperitoneal necroses Stenosis of CBD,Duodenum, large bowel Indications of Operation IN NP
Technique of Debridement • Closed cavity Lavage • Open abdomen • Surgical drainage • Posterior approach • Pancreatic resection
Limited Peritoneal exploration , digital debridement, closed cavity drainage (Beger et al) Combination of ext debridement with closed cavity drainage Bradley approach Thorough and extensive surgical debridement of retro perit space, packing of abdomen, which is left open , subsequent changes of packs is a planned procedure.
