Overview
Surgery in the treatment of acute pancreatitis is indicated for infected pancreatic necrosis, in cases of diagnostic uncertainty and in the presence of complications. Additionally, surgery is indicated for gallstone pancreatitis in order to resolve the underlying cause.
Surgical options include endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), percutaneous drainage of peripancreatic fluids, retroperitoneal approach, laparoscopic surgery, or traditional open necrosectomy. Minimally invasive approaches are preferred; however, timing of the surgery is of utmost importance. Ideally, patients with an indication for surgery are to be stabilized for up to four weeks and given antibiotics in the interim. After the development of walled off necrosis, surgery is considered more safe and effective.[1]
Surgery
According to the American college of gastroenterology, following are the guidelines for surgery in acute pancreatitis:[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
| Recommendation | Evidence Level | Strength of Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| In patients with mild AP, found to have gallstones in the gallbladder, a cholecystectomy should be performed before discharge to prevent a recurrence of AP | Moderate | Strong |
| In a patient with necrotizing biliary AP, in order to prevent infection, cholecystectomy is to be deferred until active inflammation subsides and fluid collections resolve or stabilize | Moderate | Strong |
| The presence of asymptomatic pseudocysts and pancreatic and/or extrapancreatic necrosis do not warrant intervention, regardless of size, location, and/or extension | Moderate | Strong |
| In stable patients with infected necrosis, surgical, radiologic, and/or endoscopic drainage should be delayed preferably for more than 4 weeks to allow liquefication of the contents and the development of a fibrous wall around the necrosis (walled-off necrosis) | Low | Strong |
| In symptomatic patients with infected necrosis, minimally invasive methods of necrosectomy are preferred to open necrosectomy | Low | Strong |
Indications
Surgery is indicated for:[13][11][1]
- Infected pancreatic necrosis
- Diagnostic uncertainty
- Complications
The most common cause of death in acute pancreatitis is secondary infection. Infection is diagnosed based on 2 criteria:
- Gas bubbles on CT scan (present in 20 to 50% of infected necrosis)
- Positive bacterial culture on FNA (fine needle aspiration, usually CT or US guided) of the pancreas.
Surgical options for infected necrosis include:
- Conventional management - necrosectomy with simple drainage
- Closed management - necrosectomy with closed continuous lavage
- Open management - necrosectomy with planned staged reoperations at definite intervals (up to 7 reoperations in some cases)
Minimally Invasive Approach
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography
ERCP is indicated in patients with acute pancreatitis where gallstones are the underlying cause. This includes patients with cholangitis or choledocholithiasis secondary to gallstones and have clinical findings suggestive of bile duct obstruction. It is not indicated in the absence of the aforementioned features.[1]
ERCP is additionally indicated in cases of necrotizing pancreatitis which progressed to walled off necrosis. This typically occurs after 4-6 weeks. ERCP intervention is typically and ideally delayed to the point of walled off necrosis whenever possible when the patient is stable. In the interim, antiobiotic therapy may sustain the patient in cases of infected necrosis.[12][14][13][11][1]
Percutaneous Drainage
In patients who are not stable (e.g. develop sepsis or hemodynamic instability), placement of a percutaneous drain for peripancreatic fluid collection is often sufficient to reduce sepsis and afford the pancreas time to develop an operable walled-off-necrosis.[12][14][13][11][1]
Other Approaches
Other minimally invasive approaches may be considered such as laparoscopy, and retroperitoneal approach.[14][11][1]
Open Surgery
In 40% of patients, minimally invasive surgery is not achievable, traditional open necrosectomy may be considered.[13][11][1]
