The French reconnection procedure, as an alternative to distal splenopancreatectomy for the treatment of DPDS, provides good control of symptoms and decreases the risk of pancreatic insufficiency.
Background/objectives: Disconnectedpancreatic duct syndrome (DPDS), a severe complication of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP), may require surgery, usually by distal splenopancreatectomy, thus increasing the risk of diabetes. We describe a new technique reconnecting the distal pancreas to the digestive tract. Methods: This technique was proposed after failure of non-surgical treatment and at least 3 months after the onset of ANP in non-diabetic or non-insulin dependent diabetic patients with a distal pancreas of at least 5 cm. The ruptured zone was identified and the distal side was anastomosed to the stomach or the jejunum. Results: From 2013 to June 2019, 36 patients (median age = 49 years) with DPDS underwent a French reconnection procedure, indicated for chronic pain/recurrent pancreatitis (n = 35; 97%), persistent pancreatic fistula (n = 33; 91%), or digestive compression/fistulisation (n = 9; 25%). Median preoperative weight loss was 10 kg (4-27), the median number of hospitalisations per patient was 5(1-8) and 24(67%) patients had received endoscopic/percutaneous treatment. Surgery was performed in median 279(90-2000) days after ANP, laparoscopically in 9(25%) patients. The remnant pancreas (median length = 70 mm; range = 50-130) was anastomosed to the stomach (n = 30) or the jejunum (n = 6). There were 13(36%) postoperative grade B/C pancreatic fistulas and 3(10%) bleedings including one death (mortality = 3%). The median hospital stay was 18 (7-121) days. After a median follow-up of 24 (4-53) months, all pancreatic fistulas had healed and the clinical success rate was 91%. Median BMI increased from 22 to 25 kg/m2. In patients with normal pancreatic function, postoperative de novo endocrine and severe exocrine insufficiencies were observed in 4/27 (15%) and 7/22 (32%), respectively. Conclusions: The French reconnection procedure, as an alternative to distal splenopancreatectomy for the treatment of DPDS, provides good control of symptoms and decreases the risk of pancreatic insufficiency.
