pancreas Flashcards
Beger
resection & drainage of dilated/normal duct, big HEAD
head resection; without splaying open PD
requires division of panc neck and two panc anastomoses
Frey and Puestow
lay open panc ducts
Frey cores without transection.
Frey
resection & drainage of dilated duct. big HEAD
Local resection of the pancreatic head with longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy
Puestow
normal head, big ducts ONLY ONE WITH NORMAL HEAD
Longitudinal LATERAL pancreaticojejunostomy
indication: dilated pancreatic duct (> 6 mm) without pancreatic head enlargement
lateral pancreaticojejunostomy
modified Puestow; panc duct dil 2/2 stones/strictures >1-2cm away from the papilla
what procedure for distal panc stricture with side branch changes and normal head?
distal panc
what procedure for minimal change pancreatitis = small duct chronic pancreatitis?
- denervation (bilateral thoracoscopic splanchnicectomy or celiac ganglionectomy)
- total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation
contraindication to islet cell autotransplantation?
cancer or malignant potential neoplasm
grades panc leaks = 3x serum amylase POD3
former grade A postoperative pancreatic fistula is now redefined and called a biochemical leak, because it has no clinical importance and is no longer referred to as a true pancreatic fistula
grade B fistula requires a change in postoperative management. Drains are either left in place for more than 3 weeks or repositioned through endoscopic or percutaneous procedures, but without evidence of end-organ failure or need for reoperation.
grade C postoperative pancreatic fistula refers to a postoperative pancreatic fistula that requires reoperation or leads to single or multiple organ failure and/or mortality attributable to the fistula.
mucinous cyst neoplasm dx findings on CT scan
Solitary cyst surrouded by calcifications + INTERNAL septations (bad)
body/tail ?»»>
mucinous cyst neoplasm histology, hormone receptors?
mucin-rich cells, ovarian-like stroma, and are commonly estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor positive
mucinous cyst neoplasm risk factors for malignancy
septations, larger size (>6 cm), and mural nodularity
mucinous cyst neoplasm age group and presentation?
Mean age is fifth decade and 50% of patients have vague abdominal pain.
mucinous cystic neoplasm cyst studies
mucin-rich aspirate and high levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (> 192 ng/mL)

frequency of pancreatic cystic neoplasms
MCN – 10 to 45%
IPMN – 21 to 33%
***SCA – 32 to 39%
SPT (solid papillary tumor) – <10%
malignant potential of pancreatic cystic neoplasms
MCN
Benign (adenomatous) – 72%
Low-grade malignant (borderline) – 11%
Malignant (CIS or invasive ca) - 17%
IPMN
Main-duct type (MD-IPMN)
Carcinoma in situ – 19%
Invasive carcinoma – 43%
Branched-duct type (BD-IPMN)
Carcinoma in situ – 7%
Invasive carcinoma – 18%
Mixed-duct type – risk of malignancy intermediate between MD-IPMN and BD-IPMN.
SCA – Not expected to have malignant potential.
SPT – 10–15% of patients demonstrate metastatic disease.
ipmn presentation
pancreatitis-like, steatorrhea, weight loss

IPMN dx findings on CT scan
variable in size, multi-locular, can involve main- or branch-ducts
IPMN histo?
papillary projections of columnar-lined epithelium, varying degrees of dysplasia and abundant mucin
IPMN worrisome fatures vs
Fukuoka guidelines stigmata
symptomatic, biliary obstruction, large >3 cm, mural nodules <5 mm, MAIN DUCT dilation 5-9m, abrupt change in duct size
Lymphadenopathy
pancreatitis
**High-risk stigmata:
Obstructive jaundice secondary to pancreatic head cystic lesion
Enhanced solid component
MPD size > 10 mm
ipmn mgmt
resect if stigmata then follow q6 MRI if not fully resected
stigmata: main duct (30-50% malignant potential), >3cm, cyst wall thick, main duct 5+mm
if R0, CT at 2 and 5 years
if invasive, may need adjuvant chemo
serous cystic neoplasm dx ct scan
septations and thick fibrous walls with innumerable small cysts (microcystic) with thin, clear fluid, which results in a honeycomb appearance with a central calcified scar (10–20% of the time), variable in size (mean 6 cm)
HEAD»_space;
can dx it off the CT scan alone
serous cystic neoplasm hsto
glycogen rich cuboidal epithelial lining without mitoses, nuclear polymorphism
Scant glycogen-rich cells, with positive periodic acid–Schiff stain
mgmt serous cn
resect if symptoms, lesions that demonstrate rapid growth, or lesions that are large and impose upon surrounding organs/physiology.
solitary papillary tumor ct dx
irregular cystic cavities with hemorrhage
solid mass with slight contrast enhancement in the arterial phase, but enhances significantly in the venous phase,
while cystic portions of the lesion do not enhance. Central calcification may be seen.
solitary papillary tumor histo
solid sheets, appear similar to pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors
spt mgmt
though indolent, SPT are malignant and should be resected in surgically fit patients. Due to its well-encapsulated state, enucleation may be considered, as opposed to segmental pancreatic resection.
recurs in 4 years so CT annually til 5 years
sca vs spt presentation
SCA – females (75%) with peak incidence in the sixth decade.
SPT – females (>80%) with peak incidence in the third and fourth decades.

pancreatitis feeding
regular diet through the mouth??? (score) as soon as resuscitated.
if can’t tolerate, feed distally
if can’t tolerate, wait 7 days NPO until initiating TPN
CA 19-9; where found?
biliary tree
correlates with tumor burden
used to monitor response to therapy (before imaging findings)
