as complete transection of the common hepatic or common bile duct are best managed at the time of injury. In many of these major injuries, the bile duct has not only been transected, but a variable length of the duct may have been removed with the surgical specimen. This injury usually requires reconstruction with a biliary-enteric anastomosis, and is best performed as soon as possible following the injury. If there is no or minimal loss of ductal length, a duct-to-duct repair may be done over a T-tube that is placed through a separate incision. In any repair that is chosen, it is critical to perform a tension-free anastomosis to minimize the high risk of postoperative stricture formation.Bile leaks identified postoperatively can usually be man-aged with percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal fluid col-lections followed by endoscopic biliary stenting.

fluid col-lections followed by endoscopic biliary stenting. With most leaks, regardless of the location, stenting of the common bile duct will provide a low resistance route for bile flow into the duodenum, decreasing flow through the leak and allowing it to heal. This is particularly effective for leaks from the cystic duct stump. Rarely, surgery is required to repair a large leak if endoscopic interventions have failed or peritonitis is present.Major bile duct injuries diagnosed in the later postopera-tive period may not be amenable to immediate reconstruction due to acute inflammation. They may need to be managed with transhepatic biliary catheter placement for biliary decompres-sion as well as percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal bile collections, if any. When the acute inflammation has resolved 6 to 8 weeks later, operative repair is performed.Patients with bile duct stricture from an injury or as a sequela of previous repair usually present with either progres-sive elevation

T4 tumors are those that have grown into major blood vessels or two or more structures outside the liver, and they are typically considered unresectable.Due to the high frequency of late diagnosis, palliative procedures for unresectable cancer, jaundice, or duodenal obstructions remain the most frequently performed surgery for gallbladder cancers.

Most patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma present with advanced, unresectable disease. Median survival in this population is between 5 and 8 months. The most common causes of death are hepatic failure and cholangitis. The overall 5-year survival rate for patients with resectable perihilar cholan-giocarcinoma is between 10% and 30%, but for patients with neg-ative margins, it may be as high as 40%. The operative mortality for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is 6% to 8%.

Surgery_Schwartz. 2:44 PM 1425GALLBLADDER AND THE EXTRAHEPATIC BILIARY SYSTEMCHAPTER 32has been found to prolong survival and improve quality of life in patients with biliary stents.95,96Prognosis. Most patients with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma present with advanced, unresectable disease. Median survival in this population is between 5 and 8 months. The most common causes of death are hepatic failure and cholangitis. The overall 5-year survival rate for patients with resectable perihilar cholan-giocarcinoma is between 10% and 30%, but for patients with neg-ative margins, it may be as high as 40%. The operative mortality for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is 6% to 8%. Patients with distal cholangiocarcinoma are more likely to have resectable disease and improved prognosis compared to perihilar cholangiocarci-noma.

The overall 5-year survival rate for resectable distal dis-ease is 30% to 50%, and the median survival is 32 to 38 months. Patients who receive liver transplantation for cholangiocarcinoma can experience 5-year disease free survival rates as high as 68%.The greatest risk factors for recurrence after resection are the presence of positive margins and lymph node–positive tumors. Therapy for recurrent disease concentrates on palliation of symptoms and additional surgery is not recommended for patients with recurrent disease.REFERENCESEntries highlighted in bright blue are key references. 1.

PancreasWilliam E. Fisher, Dana K. Andersen, John A. Windsor, Vikas Dudeja, and F. Charles Brunicardi 33chapterANATOMYThe pancreas is perhaps the most unforgiving organ in the human body, leading most surgeons to avoid even palpating it unless necessary. Situated deep in the center of the abdomen, the pancreas is surrounded by numerous important structures and major blood vessels. Seemingly minor trauma to the pan-creas can result in the release of pancreatic enzymes and cause life-threatening pancreatitis. Therefore, knowledge of the rela-tionships of the pancreas to surrounding structures is critically important for all surgeons to ensure that pancreatic injury is avoided during abdominal surgery.Gross AnatomyThe pancreas is a retroperitoneal organ that lies in an oblique position, sloping upward from the C-loop of the duodenum to the splenic hilum (Fig. 33-1). In an adult, the pancreas weighs 75 to 100 g and is about 15 to 20 cm long. The fact that the pan-creas is situated so

In an adult, the pancreas weighs 75 to 100 g and is about 15 to 20 cm long. The fact that the pan-creas is situated so

sloping upward from the C-loop of the duodenum to the splenic hilum (Fig. 33-1). In an adult, the pancreas weighs 75 to 100 g and is about 15 to 20 cm long. The fact that the pan-creas is situated so deeply in the abdomen and is sealed in the retroperitoneum explains the poorly localized and sometimes ill-defined nature with which pancreatic pathology presents. Patients with pancreatic cancer without bile duct obstruction usually present after months of vague upper abdominal discom-fort, or no antecedent symptoms at all. Due to its retroperitoneal location, pain associated with pancreatitis often is characterized as penetrating through to the back.Regions of the PancreasSurgeons typically describe the location of pathology within the pancreas in relation to four regions: the head, neck, body, and tail.

The transverse mesoco-lon often forms the inferior wall of pancreatic pseudocysts or inflammatory processes, allowing surgical drainage through the transverse mesocolon.

The body of the pancreas is anterior to the aorta at the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. The neck of the pancreas is anterior to the vertebral body of L1 and L2, and blunt anteroposterior trauma can compress the neck of the pancreas against the spine, causing parenchymal and, sometimes, ductal injury. The neck divides the pancreas into approximately two equal halves. The small portion of the pan-creas anterior to the left kidney is referred to as the tail and is nestled in the hilum of the spleen near the splenic flexure of the left colon.

to avoid injury to the pancreatic tail during left colectomy or splenectomy.Pancreatic Duct AnatomyAn understanding of embryology is required to appreciate the common variations in pancreatic duct anatomy. The pancreas is formed by the fusion of a ventral and dorsal bud (Fig. 33-3). The duct from the smaller ventral bud, which arises from the hepatic diverticulum, connects directly to the common bile duct. The duct from the larger dorsal bud, which arises from the duodenum, drains directly into the duodenum. The duct of the ventral anlage becomes the duct of Wirsung, and the duct from the dorsal anlage becomes the duct of Santorini. With gut rotation, the ventral anlage rotates to the right and around the posterior side of the duodenum to fuse with the dorsal bud. The ventral anlage becomes the inferior portion of the pancreatic head and the unci-nate process, while the dorsal anlage becomes the body and tail of the pancreas.

The length of the common channel is variable. In about one-third of patients, the bile duct and pancreatic duct remain distinct to the end of the papilla, the two ducts merge at the end of the papilla in another one-third, and in the remaining one-third, a true common channel is present for a distance of several millimeters.

The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery is a branch off the supe-rior mesenteric artery. Therefore, it is impossible to resect the head of the pancreas without devascularizing the duodenum, unless a rim of pancreas containing the pancreaticoduodenal arcade is preserved. The inferior pancreaticoduodenal artery needs to be controlled when dissecting the head of the pancreas off the SMA during a Whipple procedure. The gastroduodenal artery travels inferiorly anterior to the neck of the pancreas and posterior to the duodenal bulb.

This coordination is facili-tated by the physical approximation of the islets and the exo-crine pancreas, the presence of specific islet hormone receptors on the plasma membranes of pancreatic acinar cells, and the existence of an islet-acinar portal blood system.Although patients can live without a pancreas when insu-lin and digestive enzyme replacement are administered, the loss of this islet-acinar coordination leads to impairments in diges-tive function. Although only approximately 20% of the normal pancreas is required to prevent insufficiency, in many patients undergoing pancreatic resection, the remaining pancreas is not normal, and pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiency can develop with removal of smaller portions of the gland.Exocrine PancreasThe pancreas secretes approximately 500 to 800 mL per day of colorless,

Gastric hydrolysis of protein yields peptides that enter the intestine and stimulate intestinal endocrine cells to release cholecystokinin (CCK)-releasing pep-tide, CCK, and secretin, which then stimulate the pancreas to secrete enzymes and bicarbonate into the intestine.The proteolytic enzymes are secreted as proenzymes that require activation.

by the presence of inhibitors that are also secreted by the acinar cells. A failure to express a normal tryp-sinogen inhibitor, pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI), also known as serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 1 (SPINK1), is a cause of familial pancreatitis. Inhibition of trypsinogen activation ensures that the enzymes within the pancreas remain in an inactive precursor state and are activated only within the duodenum. Trypsinogen is expressed in several isoforms, and a missense mutation on the cationic trypsinogen, or PRSS1, results in premature, intrapancreatic activation of trypsinogen. This accounts for about two-thirds of cases of hereditary pan-creatitis. Chymotrypsinogen is activated to form chymotrypsin. Elastase, carboxypeptidase A and B, and phospholipase are also activated by trypsin.

Chloride secretion varies inversely with bicarbonate secretion such that the sum of these two remains constant. In contrast, sodium and potassium concentrations are kept constant throughout the spectrum of secretory rates3 (Fig. 33-9). The hormone secretin is released from cells in the duodenal mucosa in response to acidic chyme passing through the pylorus into the duodenum. Secretin is the major stimulant for bicarbonate secretion, which buffers the acidic fluid entering the duodenum from the stomach. CCK also stimulates bicarbon-ate secretion, but to a much lesser extent than secretin. CCK potentiates secretin-stimulated bicarbonate secretion.
