Case Presentation

A 57-year-old white male with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and chronic pancreatitis from alcohol abuse of 40 years presents to your clinic with chronic abdominal pain. Patient notes having significant post-prandial abdominal bloating and boring epigastric pain radiating to his back in a band-like fashion, intermittently associated with diarrhea. His pain, nausea, and steatorrhea have progressed over several years, resulting in a 15-lb weight loss this past year, requiring initiation of pancreatic enzyme replacement with some improvement. First episode of pancreatitis occurred in 2008, followed by episodes in August 2014 and March 2015, requiring hospitalizations with a serum lipase of 1,544 units/L and normal liver function tests during his latest admission. Notable past medical history is significant for COPD, osteoarthritis, and pancreatitis, without evidence of choledocholithiasis, jaundice, abnorm al liver function tests, or cirrhosis during prior hospitalizations. Your patient has no surgical history and has abstained from alcohol for 14 months; however, he continues to smoke half a pack of tobacco per day. Physical exam reveals stable vital signs and a non-tender epigastrum without guarding or rebound tenderness.
The patient received an abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan with intravenous and oral contrast (Fig. 31.1a–d) showing extensive dystrophic calcifi­cations throughout the pancreatic head, with diffuse dilation of the proximal

main-pancreatic duct from an intra-pancreatic duct calculus. The pancreatic duct was dilated to the level of the pancreatic tail. The patient also underwent an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with scout imaging showing numerous calcifications in the pancreatic gland and large mass of calcium in the pancreatic head. Cholangiogram was deferred given normal preoperative liver function tests. The pancreatogram revealed a pancreatic duct stricture in the head with some filling into a large mass of calcification.

Diagnosis and Assessment

Chronic pancreatitis is a fibro-inflammatory syndrome of the pancreas provoked by inflammatory or stress conditions incited through genetic and/or environmental risk factors, leading to morphologic (parenchymal injury, irregular fibrosis) and phys­iologic (exocrine and endocrine) changes with acinar and islet cell loss [1–5]. The pathophysiology of chronic pancreatit is is multifactorial and complex. The TIGAR-O (toxic/metabolic, idiopathic, genetic, autoimmune, recurrent pancreatitis, obstructive) classification system identifies risk-factor categories associated with chronic pancreatitis [1].
Our patient demonstrates a common presentation of chronic pancreatitis with chronic alcohol and tobacco abuse, recurrent acute pancreatitis, post-prandial abdominal pain, malabsorption (exocrine insufficiency), and weight loss. His exposure to long-term use of alcohol and tobacco places him at an elevated risk for pancreatic disease development and progression [6 – 9 ]. The correlation between alcohol use and pancreatic disease is common worldwide, including the United States [10]. Recurrent acute pancreatitis attacks destroy parenchymal tissue over time through chronic inflammatory changes, including fibrosis and calcification, leading to impaired exocrine and endocrine functions [11]. Chronic pancreatitis in the advanced phases is associated with an increased risk for pancreatic cancer [12–
14]. Exocrine insufficiency largely takes place when more than 90% of acinar cell
function is lost leading to malabsorption [15]. Steatorrhea (fat malabsorption) precedes azotorrhea (protein malabsorption), leading to weight loss over months to years, as seen in our patient. Patients commonly present with boring epigastric pain radiating to the back in a band-like fashion. Pancreatic pseudocyst formation (not found in our patient) may also cause pain, early satiety, weight loss, and inability to eat, resulting in weight loss in the more acute setting.
Initial workup should include well-validated radiologic imaging, typically with CT, ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) with biopsy, or magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). CT imaging with a pancreas protocol (with and without IV contrast, IV contrast in arterial and portal venous phases, and water as oral contrast) is the first-line noninvasive imaging modalit y of choice, and our initial gold standard. Studies using this protocol are able to diagnose chronic pancreatitis and its complications with 90% confidence [1]. Endoscopic methods of imaging with ERCP and EUS can provide imaging and tissue for diagnosis with therapeutic intervention using ERCP technique. The risks of bleeding, bowel or duct perforation, and acute pancreatitis must be taken into account with perceived benefits on a case-by-case basis. It is essential to assess the pancreatic and biliary duct anatomy for evidence of obstruction preoperatively to optimize intraoperative intervention.
In terms of pancreatic exocrine dysfunction, functional testing is invasive and not necessarily diagnostic, and should have a limited role in chronic pancreatitis workup. Instead, history and clinical evidence of steatorrhea/azotorrhea with or without weight loss may be a signa l of malabsorption and a malnourished, catabolic state. It is critical to evaluate the patient’s nutritional status preoperatively throu gh a

metabolic and nutritional panel not limited to fat-soluble vitamins, liver function tests, pre-albumin, and albumin. Malnourished patients need nasojejunal enteral feedings for 2–4 weeks to reestablish an anabolic state to prepare for surgery.
Patients with chronic pancreatitis often present with glucose intolerance from endocrine insufficiency, as up to 60% of patients will require insulin replacement [16]. Further, chronic pancreatitis patients are at an increased risk for spontaneous or treatment-related hypoglycemia, likely attributed to glucagon insufficiency, malnutrition, and alcohol consumption [ 16]. Our patient did not have endocrine insufficiency.

Management

Whenever feasible, lifestyle modifications should be implemented for chronic pancreatitis patients prior to surgical intervention. In addition to multimodal pain therapies, alcohol and smoking cessation can further decrease pain and complica­tions in chronic pancreatitis, with further risk mitigation of pancreatic calcification through smoking cessation [17–19]. Reductions in dietary fats for patients with severe refractory steatorrh ea offer some benefit, yet medium-chain triglyceride supplementation are not indicated and require additional enzyme supplementation for proper digestion and absorption [11, 20]. Parenteral vitamin supplementation of fat-soluble vitami ns and enteral pancreatic enzyme replacement is beneficial for patients with exocrine insufficiency and malabsorption [11]. Pancreatic enzyme supplementation normalizes fat-soluble vitamin, pre-albumin, and ferritin levels in chronic pancreatitis patients without steatorrhea [21]. Enzyme supplementation can be given in the absence of fecal-fat testing in patients with clinical malabsorption (loose, foul-smelling stool; weight loss; muscle wasting; osteopenia) [22]. A 72-h fecal-fat study is the gold standard to detect steatorrhea; however, this test may not be convenient or feasible given the sensitivity and specificity (100 and 95%, respectively) and positive predictive value (90%) of the acid steatocrit random-spot test [23].
Surgical intervention is warranted in our patient presenting with progressive frequency of pancreatitis episodes, severe and recurrent pain, signs of malabsorp­tion, and evidence of pancreatic duct obstruction and dilation. Our patient warrants a duodenal-preserving partial resection of the pancreatic head, longitudinal ducto­tomy, and lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (Frey Procedure).
Indications for Frey Procedure
• Disabling or severe pain with ductal dilation 7 mm or dilated with multiple strictures
• Asymptomatic with ductal dilation 7 mm or dilated with multiple stricture
31 Chronic Pancreatitis: Frey Procedure 405
• Symptomatic inflammatory mass/calcification in pancreatic head causing ductal dilation
• Consideration: dilated with multiple strictures has a “chain of lakes” appearance

Intraoperative Technique

Positioning and Preparation

The patient is placed on the operating room table in the supine position. Intravenous access with two large-bore intravenous cannulas or one central venous line is established, along with arterial wave monitoring via a radial arterial line. Appro­priate prophylactic antibiotics, urinary catheter, and compression hose-stockings with a sequential compression device are administered or placed prior to incision.

Exposure of the Pancreas

We begin with a bilateral subcostal incision with thorough exploration of the abdomen prior to exposing the pancreas (Fig. 31.2). The greater omentum is ele­vated off the transverse mesocolon to its origin on the stomach, and the gastrocolic ligament is divided to provide access into the lesser sac exposing the anterior pancreas body and tail (Fig. 31.3a, b). Exposure of the pancreas is challenging in the setting of chronic inflammation, as the posterior wall of the stomach is fre­quently densely adherent to the pancreas.

Longitudinal Pancreatic Ductotomy

First, identify the gastroduodenal artery (GDA) near the head. If the GDA can be palpated, ligate at the superior and inferior border of the pancreas for proximal and distal control, respectively, with interrupted figure-of-eight 4-0 Prolene sutures. If the GDA is not palpable due to extensive fibrosis, carefully dissect until the GDA is encountered, and control with manual compression until ligated. Once dissection approaches the neck, formal control of the GDA is performed superiorly and inferiorly to the pancreas as described. The pancreatic duct is identified within the pancreatic head with a needle and opened using cautery with a high setting (75–85) on fulgurate mode. We insert an appropriately sized probe into the duct upstream
406 T.S. Wahl and J.D. Christein
Fig. 31.2 Sub-costal incision or an upper midline incision may be utilized
toward the tail and cut down along the probe with high cautery. The ductotomy is then directed downstream toward the head to expose the entire main-pancreatic duct up to 1 cm from the papilla of Vater. All pancreatic stones and debris are removed.

Pancreatic Head Resection

The portal vein above the pancreas and superior mesenteric vein (SMV) below are visualized to ensure safe dissection of the anterior pancreatic head and uncinate process. With the GDA ligated, use high cautery to partially resect the pancreatic head, leaving only a thin rim of pancreatic tissue along the medial duodenal wall

408 T.S. Wahl and J.D. Christein
Fig. 31.4 The longitudinal ductotomy should expose the entire main duct from the tail to approximately 1 cm from the papilla of Vater. The partial pancreatic head resection is shown (note the dissection does not extend past the posterior border of the main duct). Remove all stones and debris from main and side-branch ducts
(Fig. 31.4). Once lateral to the neck, dissection can continue down to the uncinate process in a circular fashion with piece-meal resection of tissue, if necess ary. Resection should not extend beyond the posterior border of the main duct, as deeper resections increase the risk of pancreatic division, compromising vascular struc­tures, and promoting a pancreatic leak into the retroperitoneal space. We do not perform a Kocher maneuver as to avoid posterior capsule penetration. Meticulous care is taken to remove stones and debris from the main duct and side branches. Utilize suture ligation of brisk bleeding (5-0 Prolene sutures), as cautery tem­porarily seals arterial vessels. If the bile duct is encountered and opened uninten­tionally, the bile will ultimately drain into the pancreaticojejunostomy.

Roux-en-Y Pancreaticojejunostomy

A segment of jejunum is identified and divided 15 to 30 cm distal to the ligament of Treitz. The common enterotomy is closed with 3-0 Prolene as the mesentery is divided with ligation of bridging vessels toward the mesenteric origin to the right of the middle colic vasculature. The distal jejunum segment is pulled through the transverse mesocolon to deliver the Roux limb to the pancreas in a retrocolic position, or according to the patient’s anatomy. Excess mesenteric defects are closed with interrupted 3-0 silk suture. The transected end of the Roux limb is oriented with the pancreatic tail to start a one-layer side-to-side pancreaticoje­junostomy using multiple running 3-0 Prolene sutures, and secured to the transverse mesocolon with interrupted 3-0 silk suture once complete. The pancreaticoje­junostomy continues toward the pancreatic head to allow complete drainage of the main duct, with progressive opening of the jejunum to avoid an excessively long jejunotomy (Fig. 31.5).

Fig. 31.5 Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy, anterior view. Remember to perform incremental opening of the Roux jejunal limb while performing the anastomosis from the tail toward the head, to avoid an overly long jejunotomy
Following completion of the pancreaticojejunostomy, an end-to-side jejunoje­junostomy is created to complete the Roux-en-Y, approximately 40–50 cm distal to the pancreaticojejunostomy to reestablish intestinal continuity. One small, round drain is placed in the lesser sac, and fascia is closed in two layers with 1-0 Prolene sutures prior to skin irrigation and approximation with staples.
Technical Pearls
Exposure
• Enter the lesser scar through the gastrocolic ligament to expose the anterior pancreas
Ductotomy
• Ligate the gastroduodenal artery
• Ensure ductotomy extends the entire length of the gland using high-setting
cautery (75–85) on fulgurate mode
Partial pancreatic head resection
• Pancreatic head tissue resection should leave only a thin rim of tissue around the duodenum and not extend past the posterior border of the main-pancreatic duct
