which evaluate early versus delayed cholecystectomy in patients with mild pancre­atitis (Table 36.2 ).
Tang and colleagues were among the fi rst to publish their experiences in 1995, retrospectively examining outcomes and incidence of surgical morbidity in patients operated on within 1 week of symptom onset [ 11 ]. Patients were categorized accord- ing to severity of pancreatitis using Ranson’s criteria [ 12 ], and underwent either early (<1 week since symptom onset) or delayed (>1 week since symptom onset) laparoscopic cholecystectomy . All operations were performed during the index admission, at least 48 h after biochemical and clinical resolution of pancreatitis. Among patients categorized as “mild” pancreatitics (<3 Ranson criteria), there was no signifi cant difference in surgical morbidity, conversion to open operation, mor­tality , or post operative length of stay between groups undergoing early and delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients who underwent early cholecystectomy were noted to have a signifi cantly shorter overall hospitalization. Since Teng’s seminal paper, numerous retrospective reviews have arrived at similar results, advocating same-admission laparoscopic cholecystectomy for stable patients with resolved mild, or interstitial/edematous pancreatitis.
Some have advocated for earlier laparoscopic cholecystectomy in carefully selected patients. Taylor and colleagues reported on a group of retrospectively examined patients who presented with mild gallstone pancreatitis and were oper­ated on either after complete normalization of the physical exam and serum amy­lase, or after physical examination and serum amylase had begun to trend towards normalization [ 13 ]. Patients in the early cholecystectomy group were operated on an average of 1.8 days after presentation and were found to have a signifi cantly shorter overall hospitalization than those who were postponed for complete resolu­tion of pancreatitis. Additionally, no benefi t was found when postponing interven­tion until complete resolution of pancreatitis.
To date, one randomized controlled trial has addressing the timing of laparo­scopic cholecystectomy in patients with acute biliary pancreatitis . In 2012, Aboulian and colleagues reported on 50 patients that presented with mild gallstone pancreati­tis , defi ned by fewer than three Ranson criteria, who were randomized to either early laparoscopic cholecystectomy within the fi rst 48 h of admission, or to chole­cystectomy after symptom and laboratory resolution of pancreatitis [ 14 ]. Patients received intervention as long as post admission serum amylase values documented stable pancreatitis. The early surgery group was operated on at a mean of 35 h com­pared to 77.8 h in the control group. Overall hospital stay was signifi cantly shorter in the early operative group (3.8 vs. 5.8 days, P = 0.0016). No patients were readmit­ted, had post-operative complications, or required conversion to open operation. At interim analysis (50 of 100 total patients), the study was terminated due to the sig­nifi cant decrease in total hospitalization without increased morbidity among the early operation group. As with previous retrospective, non-randomized studies, results indicate that cholecystectomy can be safely performed in patients with mild pancreatitis soon after admission, and that delaying operation until full symptom­atic and biochemical resolution is unnecessary and adds to hospital stay.

Patients with Severe or Necrotizing Pancreatitis

As with patients with more mild disease, those with severe or necrotizing gallstone pancreatitis should undergo clearance of the common duct and cholecystectomy after disease stabilization [ 15 ]. With 10–20 % of patients with gallstone pancreatitis developing necrotizing pancreatitis and systemic organ failure, timing of surgical intervention differs from those with less severe disease [ 16 , 17 ]. Few studies exist evaluating the timing of laparoscopic cholecystectomy in patients with severe or necrotizing pancreatitis. Three were identifi ed and included for review (Table 36.3 ). In the classic paper by Kelly and Wagner published in 1988, patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis were randomized to early (<48 h) or delayed (>48 h) open cholecystectomy [ 5 ]. Those with severe acute pancreatitis (greater than 3 Ranson criteria) randomized to the early surgery group were found to have signifi cantly higher rates of morbidity and mortality . Numerous other retrospective studies were published in the 1970s and 1980s detailing the dangers associated with open chole­cystectomy in those with acute, active, severe pancreatitis.
These fi ndings were translated to the laparoscopic era with Tang’s paper in 1995 [ 11 ]. A subset of patients with severe gallstone pancreatitis (>3 Ranson’s criteria) underwent early (<1 week) or delayed laparoscopic cholecystectomy . Those in the early surgery group had a signifi cantly increased overall length of hospital stay.
In 1999 Uhl and colleagues published a retrospective report on 60 patients with acute biliary pancreatitis [ 18 ]. All received cross sectional imaging (contrast enhanced CT scanning) and were categorized as having necrotizing pancreatitis or acute interstitial pancreatitis. Of the 21 with necrotizing disease, 13 underwent lapa­roscopic cholecystectomy an average of 14 days after symptom onset. Five of thir­teen (38 %) required conversion to an open operation. The remainder underwent open cholecystectomy at the time of necrosectomy. Extent of necrosis demonstrated on CT was shown to correlate with the development of infected pancreatic necrosis . The authors recommend postponing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for at least 7 days in the case of necrotizing pancreatitis, and for at least 3 weeks in patients with extended pancreatic necrosis involving more than 50 % of the gland due to an increased risk for late development of pancreatic necrosis.

The Role for Endoscopic Sphincterotomy

It remains clear that both open and laparoscopic intervention in patients with severe and necrotizing pancreatitis is morbid. Delaying cholecystectomy after discharge in patients with resolved pancreatitis is similarly risky and has been recognized to be associated with a signifi cant risk of recurrent biliary events, occurring in 30–50 % of patients within the fi rst 2 months [ 16 , 19 ]. As recurrent acute pancreatitis in patients with prior severe or necrotizing disease can prove fatal, endoscopic sphinc­terotomy performed during initial admission has been proposed as a bridging pro­cedure to interval cholecystectomy.

36 Early or Delayed Cholecystectomy in Acute Gallstone Pancreatitis
406
Several studies have addressed the utility of ES in patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis . Those who undergo ES prior to discharge are less likely to have recur­rent episodes of pancreatitis, however are not spared from all biliary complications secondary to gallstones [ 6 , 20 ]. In looking at patients with interstitial edematous pancreatitis with fl uid collections, as well as patients with necrotizing pancreatitis, Heider and colleagues found that 23 % of those who had received endoscopic sphincterotomy were readmitted after discharge, but prior to eventual cholecystec­tomy [ 16 ]. While multiple patients experienced biliary symptomatology ( cholangi­tis , pain , nausea/emesis, and infected peri-pancreatic fl uid collections), there were no noted episodes of recurrent pancreatitis.
Some have advocated endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and endoscopic sphincterotomy for all patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis . A Cochrane review in 2012 examined the role for early ERCP , defi ned as conservative medical management with the addition of ERCP within the fi rst 72 h of admission [ 21 ]. A total of 7 trials and 757 patients were included in the review. The early ERCP strategy, when applied broadly to all presenting patients, was not found to reduce morbidity or mortality when compared to normal conservative management. The potential benefi t of decreased local complications (i.e. fl uid collections) and systemic complications was identifi ed when the strategy was applied to subgroups of patients with suspected cholangitis or suspected persistent choledocholithiasis .

Cost Implications

The incidence of both gallstone disease and pancreatitis in the United States and the western world are increasing, which has been hypothesized to be secondary to increasing trends in obesity [ 2 , 22 , 23 ]. An estimated 700,000 cholecystectomies are performed annually at a cost of $6.5 billion [ 24 ]. With changing healthcare land- scapes and payor structures, it is important to acknowledge the impact of manage­ment decisions on total cost of care.
A signifi cant cost is associated with recurrent biliary symptomatology. The risk of recurrent symptoms and readmissions is not negligible, and must be considered in patients with resolved pancreatitis awaiting interval cholecystectomy . Recurrent pancreatitis has been reported to occur with a frequency of roughly 10 %, and over­all biliary complication rates have been reported to be as high as 60 % in patients waiting 20 weeks for cholecystectomy [ 8 , 25 ].
The patients most likely to experience cost savings secondary to early cholecys­tectomy are those with mild biliary pancreatitis [ 16 ]. A recently published UK study considered treatment costs associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy per­formed at various intervals. Total cost of care for patients undergoing defi nitive operation within the fi rst 3 days of symptom onset was compared with cost of care for patients undergoing subsequent admission (interval) cholecystectomy. Early intervention was found to yield a cost savings of nearly 27 % [ 26 ].

Recommendations

Management of patients with acute gallstone pancreatitis can be stratifi ed according to severity. Those with mild biliary pancreatitis , without systemic complications or organ failure, are appropriate for evaluation for early laparoscopic cholecystectomy . To date, multiple retrospective and observational studies have compared early and delayed surgery in patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis, however there is a pau­city of prospective evidence, with a single randomized trial in the literature. Based on the available data, we make a recommendation for laparoscopic cholecystectomy within the fi rst 2 days of admission, provided the patient has shown clinical stability. Among patients with mild disease, further delay appears to add to total cost of care and length of stay.
In patients with severe, or necrotizing pancreatitis, there is inadequate evidence to recommend an appropriate interval for laparoscopic cholecystectomy following resolution of the acute disease.

A Personal View of the Data

Therapy for gallstone pancreatitis includes patient resuscitation, clearance of the common bile duct (if necessary), and cholecystectomy to remove the nidus for future attacks. Pancreatitis represents a spectrum of disease and severity varies greatly, and multiple severity grading systems exist. Ranson’s criteria, though out­dated, are the most frequently used in the literature to risk stratify patients with gallstone pancreatitis. Among those with mild disease (commonly defi ned as <3 Ranson’s criteria), which has been shown to be stable by physical examination and laboratory values, laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be pursued, regardless of the time since symptom onset. Patients with suspected choledocholithiasis should undergo ERCP and ES. Those with severe or necrotizing pancreatitis should be initially resuscitated and stabilized. When performed after stabilization and prior to hospital discharge, ERCP and ES can provide an important bridge to eventual lapa­roscopic cholecystectomy.

Recommendations

• Patients with mild gallstone pancreatitis that is stable in severity should undergo
laparoscopic cholecystectomy at earliest convenience, provided they are of
acceptable surgical risk (evidence quality moderate; strong recommendation).
• Patients with severe or necrotizing gallstone pancreatitis should undergo interval
cholecystectomy with endoscopic ERCP and ES utilized as a bridging proce-
dure, if necessary (evidence quality low; weak recommendation).

Nutritional Support in Acute Necrotizing Pancreatitis
Andreas Mykoniatis
Abstract Enteral nutrition (EN) is now considered the standard of care for patients
with severe acute pancreatitis and patients with pancreatic necrosis. Several ran­domized controlled trials and meta-analyses have shown that the administration of EN nutrition reduces complications and mortality of patients with severe pancreati­tis including patients with pancreatic necrosis compared to parenteral nutrition (PN). PN had been the standard of care for many decades, based on the concept of “pancreatic rest”. Avoidance of alimentary stimulation of pancreatic exocrine secre­tion was assumed to limit or prevent ongoing pancreatic infl ammation. Current practice guidelines recommend the use of enteral nutrition for feeding patients with acute pancreatitis, including those with pancreatic necrosis. Accumulating evidence suggests that the use of the gut through EN may promote the maintenance of gut barrier and immune functions. Provision of luminal nutrition via the gastric approach appears to be equally tolerated as the enteral route and may be more cost effective. However, larger randomized controlled trials and other studies focused on optimiza­tion of nutritional support during the acute and convalescent phases of necrotizing pancreatitis are needed. Pharmaconutriton or the use of defi ned elemental formulae has not yet been shown to be benefi cial. The use of PN should be limited to patients that cannot tolerate EN.

Introduction

Patients with severe acute pancreatitis are defi ned as those with ≥3 Ranson criteria; APACHE II score of ≥8; and a CRP level of ≥150 mg/dl [ 1 ]. The Atlanta classifi ca- tion [ 2 ] determines the severity of acute pancreatitis by the presence of organ fail- ure, systemic failure, or other prognostic indicators (i.e.:≥3 Ranson criteria or APACHE II ≥8). The revised Atlanta classifi cation includes the use of morphologic CECT (Contrast-enhanced computed tomography ) criteria to diagnose acute necro­tizing pancreatitis by the presence of necrosis and evidence of infection.
The exact pathophysiology [ 3 ] of acute pancreatitis (AP) is not clear, but it is thought to be caused by the abnormal activation of pancreatic proenzymes that results in autodiegestion of the pancreas. In theory, “pancreatic rest” might help decrease pancreatic exocrine secretion and thereby retard disease progression. It is now known that several other factors are involved in the progression of pancreatitis that involve the integrity of the intestinal mucosa [ 4 ].
In about 15–20 % of patients, the disease progresses to severe illness with a pro­longed disease course; multiple organ failure; and sepsis. The overall mortality of AP is about 5 % and can reach up to 20–30 % in patients with severe AP and infected necrosis [ 5 , 6 ]. Parenteral nutrition was regarded as the standard nutritional man- agement for many decades based on the theory of pancreatic rest [ 7 ]. Optimal man- agement now includes resuscitation with IV fl uids, pain management, and early enteral nutrition . Several pieces of evidence have shown that early enteral nutrition is superior to PN. Enteral nutrition (EN) preserves mucosal integrity and reduces the risk of infections. In comparison to PN, EN seems to be equally tolerated and is more cost effective. This chapter will address and grade the evidence for the use of enteral nutrition in patients with severe acute pancreatitis and pancreatic necrosis . It will also evaluate the existing evidence for the use of gastric vs. jejunal tube feeding (TF); early vs. late nutrition; and the use of polymeric vs. elemental formula and probiotics in the setting of severe acute pancreatitis and pancreatic necrosis.

Search Strategy

In order to evaluate the use of enteral nutrition , a literature search of English lan­guage publications from 2000 to 2013 was used to identify published data on acute pancreatitis and nutrition using the PICO outline (Tables
37.1 and 37.2 ). Databases
searched were PubMed, Web of Sciences, Cochrane library, and Embase Database. Terms used in the search were “acute pancreatitis,” “ pancreatic necrosis ”, “enteral nutrition/ parenteral nutrition ”, or “enteral feeding/ parenteral feedings ”. Eight ran­domized controlled trials were included in the analyses that evaluated the use of EN vs. PN. Four randomized controlled trials that studied the use of NG vs. NJ tube feeds in patients with acute pancreatitis were included. The data was classifi ed using the GRADE system.
