Recommendations

Either PD or DPPHR can provide pain relief for the majority of patients with CP who undergo these operations. Current evidence is inadequate to establish the supe­riority of either of these approaches over the other for pain relief.
Current evidence is inadequate to establish the superiority of either approach for post operative morbidity or mortality . Delayed gastric emptying has been noted more frequently following PD in several small RCTs. However, assessment of gas­tric emptying has not been standardized across studies and there has not been con­sistent distinction between PD with or without gastrectomy and pyloric preservation.
Current evidence is inadequate to clearly establish superiority of either approach for preservation of post operative pancreatic endocrine or exocrine function. The functional benefi ts of DPPHR observed in earlier reports of RCTs were diminished or nonexistent at longer term follow up. Methods for assessment of endocrine and exocrine function were not standardized.
Current evidence is inadequate to establish superiority of either approach for improved QoL. The suggestions that DPPHR may be associated with better QoL must be tempered by the differences in methodologies used for assessment and by the varied follow up intervals.
Based on this summary of the evidence available from RCTs and systematic reviews, we can recommend pancreatic head resection for patients with pancreatic head mass and intractable pain from CP. We can make no recommendation favoring either PD or DPPHR. All of the available RCTs are limited by sample size, by inter­ventions that were similar but not identical (ppPD and/or PD vs. Frey and/or Beger), and by differences in the methodologies used for determining QoL and functional outcomes . In the sequential follow-up reports of Izbicki’s study, a substantial pro­portion of the initial cohort was not included.

A Personal View of the Data

Pancreatic head resection is more benefi cial for pain relief than non-operative treat­ment for selected patients with CP. We make the assumption that the typical patient suffering intractable pain from CP places higher value on pain relief and operative survival and lesser value on potentially undesirable side effects. This would be par­ticularly true if the side effects are treatable and where the magnitude of differences in side effects between treatment options is limited. Furthermore, long term func­tional decline may more represent the natural history of disease progression rather than any operative sequela.
In our opinion, the surgeons’ personal experience with peri -operative morbidity and mortality and clinically relevant pain relief is the key determinant for selecting PD or DPPHR in this circumstance, as it is for selection of the specifi c technical

version of either approach. Surgeons will be biased by their training and practice. These may or may not involve a highly specialized center and may or may not include a substantial proportion of patients resected for CP rather than for pancre­atic neoplasms. Objective interpretation of the current data will hopefully allow us to acknowledge that alternative operations may be equally reasonable. Evidence favoring one approach or another may waver. Observations from published studies may not apply to an individual patient, particularly to a patient suffering with CP with its varied morphologic, metabolic, social and medical nuances.

Recommendations

1. Patients with intractable pain associated with chronic pancreatitis and an infl am-
matory pancreatic head mass should undergo pancreatic head resection by PD or
DPPHR (evidence quality high, strong recommendation).
2. DPPHR may have early advantages with respect to gastric emptying (evidence
quality low, weak recommendation).
3. DPPHR may have advantages with respect to preservation of pancreatic exocrine
function and quality of life (evidence quality low, weak recommendation).

Is Total Pancreatectomy with Islet Autotransplantation Indicated in Hereditary/ Genetic Pancreatitis?
Jeffrey B. Matthews
Abstract Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) has been
used in selected centers to treat intractable hereditary/genetic forms of recurrent acute and chronic pancreatitis. It has theoretical advantages over continued medical management or traditional endoscopic and surgical interventions because it entails the complete removal of the infl amed and fi brotic organ to treat the symptoms of pain while both eliminating the long-term risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and preserving islet mass and to limit post-pancreatectomy diabetes. While an emerging consensus favors TPIAT in this setting, the evidence base largely relies on retrospective patient series and expert opinion.

Introduction

Recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) represent a spec­trum of infl ammatory and fi brotic conditions of the pancreas and their associated complications. Surgical intervention is most often considered for the indication of pain , which can occur as a pattern of recurrent episodes or persistent symptoms associated with progressive loss of pancreatic exocrine and endocrine function. The morphological consequences are highly variable and may include ductal stricture , dilation, ductal and parenchymal calcifi cations, focal mass effects, and extension to adjacent organs and vessels [ 1 ].
Treatment of the pain of chronic pancreatitis may be pharmacological, neuroab-
lative, and endoscopic , but these are of variable success for short- and long-term

control of symptoms. Surgical therapy may be an effective alternative in appropri­ately selected patients. The choice of operation generally refl ects assumptions about the mechanism of pain. For example, duct decompression by lateral pancreaticoje­junostomy may be recommended for patients with so-called large duct disease, whereas pancreatic resection by pancreaticoduodenectomy or duodenum-sparing pancreatic head resection may be indicated for patients with an infl ammatory head mass [ 1 ].
Some patients have more complex situations, and the role of surgical therapy is controversial. For example, the patient with a non-dilated pancreatic duct (small­duct disease) may have no duct to decompress and no mass to resect. Others may have persistent or recurrent pain after prior pancreatic operation. Still others appear to have genetic/hereditary syndromes, some of which appear to be associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer . Hereditary pancreatitis kindreds, over half of whom are found to have mutations in PRSS1 (the gene that encodes for cationic trypsinogen), are reported to have an over 50-fold increased risk of developing pan­creatic cancer [ 2 ]. In smokers, the cumulative risk of cancer is 15 % by age 50 and exceeds 50 % by age 75 [ 2 , 3 ], although in non-smokers the risk of cancer, while still elevated, appears to be considerably lower. Pancreatitis associated with PRSS1 gene mutations has an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with incomplete penetrance [ 4 ]. In contrast, RAP and CP associated with mutations in the CFTR or SPINK1 genes shows autosomal recessive inheritance and do not appear to carry an increased risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared to other forms of CP [ 5 ].
The rationale for total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) for hereditary/genetic forms of pancreatitis includes the complete removal of the infl amed and fi brotic organ to treat the symptoms of pain as well as to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, while preserving islet mass and preventing or limiting the extent of post-pancreatectomy type 3c diabetes [ 6 , 7 ]. However, the consequences of total pancreatectomy in this setting are not trivial and include not only persistent pain (often attributed to central sensi­tization as well as narcotic bowel syndrome) but also the metabolic and nutritional impact of complete pancreatic exocrine insuffi ciency [ 6 , 7 ]. For patients with severe and intractable symptoms, the main question is whether TPIAT truly improves short- and long-term quality of life . For less severely affected patients, the question is whether the long-term reduction in cancer risk suffi ciently changes the risk­benefi t ration to justify proceeding with TPIAT earlier, irrespective of the develop­ment of symptomatic incapacitation.

Search Strategy

A PubMed literature search of English language publications from 2000 to 2015 was used to identify series of patients with hereditary or genetic RAP or CP pancre­atitis treated by TPIAT. Terms used in the search included “total pancreatectomy ”

AND “ islet autotransplantation ” OR “autologous islet transplantation” AND “chronic pancreatitis”, OR “ recurrent acute pancreatitis ” OR “ hereditary pancreati­tis ” AND “genetic pancreatitis”. Articles were excluded if patients with hereditary/ genetic forms of RAP/CP were not specifi ed, or for reports that addressed fewer than fi ve TPIAT patients. A PICO approach was used to frame the relevant question, and the data were classifi ed using the GRADE system (Table 44.1 ).

Results

Patient Selection

There was considerable heterogeneity in the patient populations selected to undergo TPIAT. Among the many factors that differed among the published series included the demographics and comorbidities of the patients as well as the type and number of prior pancreatic interventions. Several series did not specify the number of patients with genetic/familial/hereditary disease, and only two series reported the results of genetic testing for PRSS1 or other genes associated with RAP and CP. Because genetic testing is not routine (or routinely recommended), the total number of patients with PRSS1 gene mutations who have undergone TPIAT is unclear. An uncertain number of patients were included multiple times in various reports from the larger centers, notably the University of Minnesota and the University of Cincinnati series [ 8 – 15 ], complicating interpretation of the aggregate experience in hereditary/genetic RAP/CP. Some studies focused on pediatric populations; others focused on small-duct (“minimal change”) chronic pancreatitis.
In the Minnesota series of 484 patients that underwent TPIAT, the 80 patients with hereditary/genetic forms of RAP and CP differed from those with non­hereditary forms in a number of respects: they were younger, had pancreatitis of longer duration, a higher pancreatic fi brosis score, and a trend toward lower islet yield [ 9 ]. Across all series, the vast majority of patients were described as having failed prior medical, endoscopic , and, in many instances, surgical therapy. Essentially all patients required substantial analgesic therapy and were in most instances dependent on narcotics.

Perioperative Morbidity and Mortality

The largest series, from the University of Minnesota, reported a 1 % in-hospital mortality rate [ 10 ], with other smaller series showing that postoperative mortality is below 2 % [ 12 , 16 ]. A study based on data from the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program confi rmed an approximately 1 % mortality rate and addition­ally identifi ed that major morbidity occurred in found a 41 % of patient [ 17 ]. The most common signifi cant early postoperative complication was hemorrhage, occur­ring in about 10 % of cases. Partial portal vein thrombosis is also noted, but this does not appear to adversely impact outcomes . Readmission rate was not consis­tently reported but in Wilson’s series was 37 % [ 15 ]. Actuarial survival is 90 % at 5 years and 81 % at 10 years in the Minnesota series, although the cause of late deaths is not known in many instances [ 10 ].

Islet Function

Islet yield was highly variable between series, depending upon the age of the patients, duration of CP, the condition of the pancreas, and the type(s) of prior pan­creatic operation. Prior lateral pancreaticojejunostomy was associated with dramat­ically lower islet yield. There was not a consistent correlation between the number of islet-equivalents isolated per kg body weight and ultimate insulin independence. Insulin independence within the fi rst year was achieved in 20–41 % of patients (Table 44.2 ). Typically, daily insulin requirements were reported to be less than 20U/day in most patients. Although a measurable drop-off of C-peptide was dem­onstrated over time in some series, with a corresponding decrease in the rate of insulin-independence after 1 year, daily insulin requirements tended to otherwise remain stable out to 10 years and beyond [ 10 , 14 ].
Data on the natural history of the development of endocrine insuffi ciency in patients with genetic/ hereditary pancreatitis are sparse. In one study of patients car­rying PRSS1 gene mutations, endocrine insuffi ciency was noted in 26 % of patients at a median age of 38 years [ 4 ]. A small series of children treated by modifi ed Puestow procedure for intractable pain showed two out of nine patients developed insulin-dependent diabetes within 1 year of operation [ 18 ]. However, other small series have not shown such rapid progression [
19 ].

Pain Relief/Narcotic Requirement

Following TPIAT, a signifi cantly decrease in subjective assessment of pain and the need for narcotic pain medication was noted in all studies. Over 80 % of patients reported either no pain or only mild pain (Table 44.2 ). Some reports quantifi ed the
J.B. Matthews
503
reduction of pain medication requirements as morphine equivalents, although the details of reporting were highly variable. Achievement of the endpoint of narcotic­independence was inconsistent among the various series, ranging between 24 % and 80 % (Table 44.2 ).

QOL/Durability

A number of studies evaluated quality of life using several standard questionnaire­based surveys (Table 44.2 ), most commonly short-form 36 (SF36). These were administered at variable times after the procedure, and all published studies suffer from at least some patients being lost to follow up. Several of the larger series reported follow up over 5 years, and for some patients, over 10 years. These studies demonstrated that narcotic independence and islet function, as well as improve­ments in QOL are sustained for at least 10 years following operation. For example, Wilson [ 14 ] showed that the narcotic-independence rate rose from 55 % at 1 year to 73 % at 5 year follow up; although insulin-independence rates declined from 38 % at 1 year to 27 % after 5 years, daily insulin requirements remained relatively con­stant and glycemic control measured by HgA1C levels were stable in all patients evaluated.
Comparison to medical management is mostly implicit in that selection criteria included failure of non-operative therapy. One study addressed cost-effectiveness based on a series of indirect assumptions concluded that there was no cost disadvan­tage to TPIAT [ 16 ]. Wilson et al. [ 20 ] used a Markov model populated with data

from a series of 46 patients with small duct chronic pancreatitis who underwent TPIAT to evaluate its cost-effectiveness compared to medical management. Signifi cant reductions in the number of hospital admissions and the need for endos­copy and advanced imaging were noted following TPIAT, with signifi cantly decreased cost per quality-adjusted life years. There are no data on long term nutri­tional status with respect to maintenance of body weight, anemia, vitamin defi cien­cies, complications due to diabetes, and other possible sources of morbidity after TPIAT.

Cancer Risk

TPIAT has been performed since 1977 and to date there have been no reports of a single instance of intrahepatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma [ 6 ]. In the Minnesota series of 80 patients with genetic/hereditary forms of pancreatitis, no cancers occurred during the 2936 patient-years of follow-up [ 9 ]. It is unclear whether the long-term risk of developing pancreatic cancer in hereditary CP in and of itself is suffi cient justifi cation for proceeding with TPIAT; risk modifi cation by avoidance of tobacco may have a substantial impact. The value of surveillance imaging is unproven and may be diffi cult in a pancreas deformed by repeated damage and progressive fi brosis.

Expert Consensus

Given the limited number of series, the heterogeneity of patients, and uncertainties about both the natural history of RAP/CP (of any etiology) and the long term results of TPIAT, a working group of expert pancreatologists and pancreatic surgeons reviewed the relevant literature and compared their own clinical experiences to develop a series of consensus statements to guide patient selection. There is a high degree of consensus among these experts that TPIAT is indicated to treat intractable pain in patients with impaired quality of life due to CP or RAP when medical, endo­scopic , or previous surgical therapy have failed [ 9 ]. Moreover, it was recommended by this group that special consideration be given to patients with genetic causes. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease (NIDDK) orga­nized a workshop entitled “Total Pancreatectomy with Islet AutoTransplantation: Gaps, Needs and Opportunities” in July 2014 in Pittsburgh. One of the critical research gaps identifi ed was the need for multicenter collaboration through a data registry [ 10 ].

Recommendations Based on the Data

Patients with intractable pain or signifi cantly impaired quality of life due recurrent acute or chronic pancreatitis who have otherwise failed medical, endoscopic , or surgical therapy should be evaluated for TPIAT (evidence quality moderate; strong recommendation).
TPIAT is preferable to continued medical management in patients with symp­tomatic hereditary pancreatitis associated with a PRSS1 gene mutation and a family history of pancreatic cancer because of the virtual elimination of lifelong risk of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (evidence quality high, strong recommendation).
TPIAT should be performed in the setting of a multidisciplinary team experi­enced in patient selection and postoperative management , at or in collaboration with a center with experience in TPIAT (evidence quality high, strong recommendation).

A Personal View of the Data

TPIAT should be considered in patients who are severely affected by the pain of chronic pancreatitis and who have no conventional alternative. Patients with so­called “small duct” disease, or who have failed prior surgical interventions may be good candidates so long as they are not yet C-peptide negative diabetics. Patients with genetic predisposition (e.g., hereditary pancreatitis ), particularly younger patients, are very well suited to this procedure. The outcomes for TPIAT are best when performed in a center that has deep, multidisciplinary experience in caring for the spectrum of benign and malignant pancreatic diseases. In addition to a signifi ­cant institutional commitment to an islet isolation laboratory, a successful program requires close collaboration between medical pancreatologists, advanced endosco­pists, and pancreatic surgeons in addition to experts in surgical nursing, nutrition, and pain management .
The published literature suffers from considerable selection bias, framing effects, and optimism bias. While earlier intervention may increase islet yield and the likeli­hood of insulin-independence, it eliminates the ability of the patient to benefi t from future advances in islet isolation and preservation. This should temper enthusiasm for TPIAT in the pediatric population. Fears over the eventual development of can­cer in patients with hereditary pancreatitis should be tempered by a number of con­siderations, including tobacco as a modifi able risk, and the possibility of the emergence of improved screening and treatment protocols for a disease that may not develop for decades.
It is diffi cult to generalize which patients will have the best outcome from TPIAT because of the high degree of variability in presentation, prior treatment, and ana­tomic circumstances. Potential patients differ not only in their clinical situations but
