The Clinical Outcomes after Total Pancreatectomy
Abstract
Background: Total pancreatectomy (TP) is not more beneficial than less aggressive resection techniques for the treatment of pancreatic neoplasms and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, with advances in surgical techniques and glycemic monitoring, and the development of synthetic insulin and pancreatic enzymes for postoperative treatment, TP has been increasingly indicated. This is a review of the recent literature reporting the clinical outcomes after TP. Methods: We reviewed the publications reporting the use of TP starting 2007. The clinicophysiological and survival data were analyzed. Results: Few studies evaluated the differences in clinical outcomes between TP and pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) with inconsistent results. It was reported that while the perioperative morbidity did not decrease, the mortality decreased compared to previous literature. All patients who underwent TP required insulin and high dose of pancreatic enzyme supplements. The 5-year survival rates after TP and PD for pancreatic cancer were similar. Conclusion: The perioperative mortality decreased in patients who underwent TP with advances in the operative procedures and perioperative care. The long-term survival rates were similar for TP and PD. Therefore, treating pancreatic neoplasms using TP is feasible. Patients undergoing TP should receive adequate treatment with synthetic insulin and pancreatic enzyme supplements.

In the pre-CGM era, total loss of glycemic control was associated with severe complications in patients undergoing total pancreatectomy.
“In the pre-CGM era, the total loss of glycemic control was associated with severe complications in patients undergoing total pancreatectomy [35,66,69].”
From An Uncommon Cause of Recurrent Presyncope, Dizziness, and Tachycardia: A Case Report of Diffuse, Adult-Onset Nesidioblastosis/Non-Insulinoma Pancreatogenous Hypoglycemia Syndrome (NIPHS) (2023) · cites this paper as [66]
The Endocrine and Exocrine Replacement after TP section says patients were considered at high risk of hypoglycemia in the past, and the Long-Term Survival Rates after TP section reports deaths from post-TP hypoglycemia. The paper does not describe a total loss of glycemic control or specifically establish these complications as occurring in a pre-CGM era. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredSurgical procedures on the pancreas, especially total pancreatectomy, are associated with a considerable risk of morbidity and mortality.
“Of note, surgical procedures on the pancreas, especially total pancreatectomy, are associated with a considerable risk of morbidity and mortality [33,66-68].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
