Thirteen patients who underwent extensive pancreatic resection and segmental autotransplantation and who have a median follow-up of 62 months are presented. Eleven patients had technically successful grafts. Three of six patients who underwent total pancreatectomy and three of five patients who underwent near-total resection remain insulin-independent. Those patients who require insulin require small doses and have stable diabetes. Pain has recurred in 7 of the 11 patients who underwent distal subtotal resection; 5 of them required pancreatoduodenectomy and completion pancreatectomy for pain relief. Because of the high rate of recurrence of pain after distal resection, we favor pancreatoduodenectomy as the initial procedure of choice. When distal near-total or total pancreatectomy is required, the addition of segmental autotransplantation offers definitive, although at times transient, benefits in glucose homeostasis compared with no transplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.

D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
