A pancreatectomy can be indicated for conditions such as pancreatic stones, cysts, benign or malignant tumors, ductal obstructions, or chronic pancreatitis. It can be classified as total, where the entire organ is removed, often along with the spleen, gallbladder, local lymph nodes, the common bile duct, and portions of the small intestine and stomach, or partial, where the pancreas is resected from the mesenteric vessels distally, leaving the head and uncinate process intact.
Preoperative management
Patient evaluation
| System | Considerations |
|---|---|
| Airway | |
| Neurologic | |
| Cardiovascular | |
| Pulmonary | |
| Gastrointestinal | |
| Hematologic | |
| Renal | |
| Endocrine | Diabetes is common in these patients, glucose management should be considered |
| Other | Electrolyte derangements and hypovolemia common in patients with pancreatitis |
Labs and studies
- CBC
- Electrolytes, especially K+, serum glucose, BUN, Cr
- Coags including PT, PTT, INR
- LFTs
- urinalysis
- EKG
- CXR
- Echo is commonly requested
Operating room setup
- Have insulin available for glucose management
- Have pressor (usually norepinephrine) available for management of hypotension
Patient preparation and premedication
Regional and neuraxial techniques
- Epidurals are common to manage postoperative pain
- If epidural is not performed, TAP blocks can be an alternative
Intraoperative management
Monitoring and access
- A-line
- 2 large bore IVs
Induction and airway management
Positioning
- Supine
Maintenance and surgical considerations
Emergence
Postoperative management
Disposition
- Floor vs. ICU
Pain management
- Epidural is common for postoperative pain management
- TAP blocks are an alternative for patients who cannot receive epidurals
Potential complications
Procedure variants
| Total | Near-Total (Child's Procedure) | Partial (Distal) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indications | Pancreatic stones, cysts, ductal obstruction, benign or malignant tumor, chronic pancreatitis | When underlying disease has functionally destroyed the pancreas or when lesser procedures have failed to provide adequate pain relief | Tumor or pancreatitis |
| Surgical procedure | Entire organ removed, usually with spleen, gallbladder, local lymph nodes, CBD, portions of SI and stomach. Remaining distal stomach is anastomosed to a portion of the SI | Removal of entire pancreas except rim of tissue along the lesser curvature of the duodenum, which makes it unnecessary to reconstruct the bile duct | Resection of the pancreas from the mesenteric vessels distally, leaving the head and uncinate process intact |
