Pancreatoduodenectomy is the most common surgery for benign tumors of the pancreatic head and chronic pancreatitis. However, advanced resection and unsatisfactory quality of life in long-term period call into question the propriety of this procedure for benign tumors of the pancreatic head and chronic pancreatitis. Duodenum-sparing proximal pancreatectomy is the current approach. The review is devoted to the main techniques of duodenum-sparing pancreatectomy, outcomes of these procedures and their role in pancreatic surgery.

Pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) and duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) are important treatment options for patients with chronic pancreatitis. This meta-analysis was undertaken to compare the long-term outcomes of DPPHR versus PPPD in patients with chronic pancreatitis. A systematic literature search was conducted using Embase, MEDLINE, Cochrane, and PubMed databases on all studies published between January 1991 and January 2013 reporting intermediate and long-term outcomes after DPPHR and PPPD for chronic pancreatitis. Long-term outcomes of interest were complete pain relief, quality of life, professional rehabilitation, exocrine insufficiency, and endocrine insufficiency. Other outcomes of interest included perioperative morbidity and length of stay (LOS). Ten studies were included comprising of 569 patients. There was no significant difference in complete pain relief ( P = 0.24), endocrine insufficiency ( P = 0.15), and perioperative morbidity ( P = 0.13) between DPPHR and PPPD. However, quality of life ( P < 0.00001), professional rehabilitation ( P = 0.004), exocrine insufficiency ( P = 0.005), and LOS ( P = 0.00001) were significantly better for patients undergoing DPPHR compared with PPPD. In conclusion, there is no significant difference in endocrine insufficiency, postoperative pain relief, and perioperative morbidity for patients undergoing DPPHR versus PPPD. Improved intermediate and long-term outcomes including LOS, quality of life, professional rehabilitation, and preservation of exocrine function make DPPHR a more favorable approach than PPPD for patients with chronic pancreatitis.

Background. The majority of studies on the surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis (CP) compare treatment outcomes by the type of the procedure. However, some studies, especially systematic reviews and meta-analyses, indicate the equality of different surgeries by their long-term results. During last 5–9 years, several studies showed advantages of early surgery in chronic pancreatitis, within three years after symptoms onset. Objective: to analyze the short- and long-term results of surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis regarding timing and, accordingly, the neglect of the disease. Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of data of 147 patients from 2001 to 2020, the main intervention was surgery aimed at the main manifestations of CP, such as pancreatic ductal and/or parenchymal hypertension. Patients who suffered from CP symptoms 3 years or more were included in the control group (late surgery), and those who noted symptoms of CP for less than 3 years were included in the study group (early surgery). All patients completed the EORTC QLQ-30, SF-36 questionnaires, as well as the questionnaire developed by the study authors, via telephone or mail, or during the visit. Results. According to all scales of the SF-36 questionnaire, except for Physical functioning, the group of early surgery prevails over the group of late surgery. The early surgery group had the best average scores on all functional scales of the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire compared to the late surgery group, except for the Cognitive functioning. Of the symptomatic scales, the early surgery group had the best averages on Pain and Diarrhea. The average Health/Quality of life scale was significantly better in the early surgery group. Conclusions. The quality of life, pain control, pancreatic function in patients operated within 3 years from the onset of CP symptoms were better compared to those with longer disease duration, with the same short-term results. The duration of the disease is a major factor for the success of surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis in terms of long-term results. The early surgery is effective approach to obtain better long-term outcomes in chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract Introduction There are several well-established surgical procedures for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis (CP). The present study seeks to evaluate the perioperative and long-term outcome of these procedures. Methods All patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR), and distal pancreatectomy (DP) for CP were retrospectively analyzed with regards to the perioperative outcome and long-term survival. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) was assessed using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire. Results There were 145 patients available for analysis. Major complications (grade IIIb–V) occurred in 19 %, in-hospital mortality was 4.2 %, and 90-day mortality was 3 % with no differences between the different resection groups (all p > 0.05). Ten-year survival was 58 % and was highest in the DP group (100 %) but without statistical significance (p = 0.72). The response rate of the HRQoL assessment was 45 % (65 of 145). There was a significant improvement with regards to pain and HRQoL of all resection groups compared to the preoperative group (all p < 0.05). With respect to HRQoL and pain relief, the PD, DPPHR, and DP did not differ significantly. Discussion Surgical therapy of CP can be performed safely. The 3 different types of resection performed equally with regards to complications and HRQoL.

Aim of study. To compare short-term and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment for patients with chronic pancreatitis. Material and methods. In the period of 2002-2020, a total of 123 patients underwent surgery for treatment of complications associated with chronic pancreatitis. The patients were divided into three groups depending on the type of intervention. Patients in Group 1 underwent drainage (n=46), patients in Group 2 underwent resection (n=26) and patients in Group 3 combined resection and draining procedures (n=51). Results. After Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy of cysts in distal parts of the pancreas(n=11), the amount of complications was lower (3 (27 [6; 61]%)) than after distal resection (n=20): 10 (50 [27; 73]%)), and the quality of life (SF-36) was higher in the long term (PSC: 55.75, MCS: 53.53 against PCS: 48.09, MCS – 49,72) after resection repair. The frequency of postoperative complications and lethality rate were higher in patients after different variants of sparing resection of pancreatic parenchyma with duct system drainage than in the group of patients treated with longitudinal cystojejunostomy. In the long term, lower lethality (5 [0; 23]%; p<0.05) and a higher level of physical (PCS – 61.31) and mental (MCS – 61.73) health were registered after the original variant of combined resection and draining intervention in comparison with traditional pancreatojejunostomy and duodenum-preserving surgery. Conclusion. Draining interventions on pancreatic cysts in distal parts of the pancreas is accompanied by better immediate and long-term results. Drainage without consideration for changes in the pancreatic head leads to a higher recurrence rate (27 [8; 55]%, р=0.013). Immediate results of the proposed combined resection and draining intervention are comparable with duodenum-preserving surgery but are characterised by lower mortality (5 [0; 23]%, р=0.06) and higher quality of life (SF-36) in the long term.
