Incidence of Fistulas Following Human Pancreas Transplantation—Positive Influence of Reabsorption

of Pancreatic Secretions by the Peritoneum

W-D. Iiiner, Th. Gottwald, D. Abendroth, and W. Land

THERE IS EVIDENCE suggesting that transplantation of the pancreas is the

only approach to a curative treatment of type I diabetes.1 - 3 The results of this surgical method improved during the last years with the new agent cyclosporine (Cs) and better patient management. In 1982 the one-year-survival-rate of pancreas grafts was about 20% worldwide, whereas in 1984 it had risen to 38%.4 In spite of this improvement, pan­creas transplantation is still less successful than transplantation of other organs. One major reason for this fact is the difficulty in optimal handling of exocrine secretion.

Since 1979 the Munich group has been using prolamine (Ethibloc, Ethicon) in a con­secutive series of 56 patients. Despite occlu­sion of the duct, a high incidence of pancreatic fistulas occurred, implicating the risk of a secondary bacterial contamination.

By modifying our surgical technique5 to a strictly intraperitoneal placement of the pan­creas graft, we wanted to know whether the resorption capacity of the peritoneum would provide a reduction of the incidence of fistu­las.

PATIENTS AND METHODS Fifty-two of those 56 patients received a pancreas and a

kidney graft simultaneously. In these 52 patients we evaluated fistula incidence, frequency of reintervention, and graft loss rate secondary to an infected fistula. According to the different surgical techniques there are two groups: group 1 (n = 25), in which the segmental pancreas graft was placed partially extra-and intraperito-neally6; and group 2 (n = 27), in which the pancreas graft was placed strictly intraperitoneal^ along the ascending colon. The peritoneal cavity was continuously irrigated with saline solution over the first postoperative days.

RESULTS The incidence of fistulas in group 1 was

52% compared to 44% in group 2. The rate of secondary bacterial contamination of a fistula with subsequent surgical reinterventions showed no significant difference betweeen both groups (2 v 2.5). In five patients in group 1 the rescue of an infected fistula failed, compared to two cases in group 2.

DISCUSSION

Our working hypothesis claimed that reab­sorption of residual exocrine secretion by the peritoneum would reduce the incidence of fistulas. This could not be confirmed, because neither the fistula incidence rate nor the re-operating rate were statistically different. Specific and specific defense mechanisms of the peritoneum seem to have a positive effect against secondary infection of a fistula. Graft loss due to a fistula occurred in only 8% of patients treated with the modified technique (group 2) compared to 20% of the patients in group 1.

The improvement of graft survival rate (15% difference between group 1 and group 2) is probably based on defense mechanisms of the peritoneum. Therefore, we will continue to use the strictly intraperitoneal placement of duct-occluded pancreas grafts.
