If you have a genetic mutation and you chop off a piece of the pancreas, throw it in the trash. You can maybe relieve some of the pain. If you do whipple, have the pancreas drain better, do a piece so, I'm gonna touch base on that in a sec, drain the pancreatic duct better. But I put a piece of paper in the trash. And the genetic mutations will keep affecting the rest of the pancreas.

clinical Pediatric chronic pancreatitis usually presents with minimal ductal changes, not the dilated ducts seen in adults, so drainage procedures are often not applicable.
Ep 9 · 28:57
clinical In patients with genetic mutations, partial pancreatectomy (Whipple, distal pancreatectomy) discards islet mass and does not address the underlying defect, so the remaining pancreas continues to be affected.

quote If you have a genetic mutation and you chop off a piece of the pancreas, throw it in the trash. You can maybe relieve some of the pain. If you do whipple, have the pancreas drain better, do a piece so, I'm gonna touch base on that in a sec, drain the pancreatic duct better. But I put a piece of paper in the trash.

Ep 10 · 5:44
guideline Diagnosis of acute pancreatitis requires serum lipase at least 3 times the upper limit of normal, plus imaging findings (ultrasound, MRI/MRCP, or CT).
Ep 10 · 7:23
epidemiological In the Cincinnati Children's cohort of 1000 pediatric pancreatitis patients, 85% have genetic mutations.
Ep 10 · 8:01
clinical PRSS1 mutation causes very aggressive attacks very early in life (ages 1–3 years) because it autoactivates trypsinogen inside the pancreas.
Ep 10 · 8:37
clinical Medications including L-asparaginase, steroids, valproic acid, and diuretics (Lasix) can cause pancreatitis in children.
Ep 10 · 9:32
clinical Hereditary pancreatitis increases the risk of pancreatic cancer by a huge fold, which is a major concern in children diagnosed at age 5–6 who may live 95 more years.
Ep 10 · 10:15
clinical Most fluid collections in pediatric acute pancreatitis are self-limited and should not be touched unless absolutely necessary.
Ep 10 · 18:08
quote Please do not touch these collections ever unless you absolutely have to.
Ep 10 · 18:17
guideline Position papers from the European Pancreas Club and American Pancreas Association state there is no role for early pancreatectomies or early drainage procedures in acute pancreatitis.
Ep 10 · 18:40
clinical Early necrosectomies (before 4 weeks) usually increase mortality.
Ep 10 · 19:49
clinical Following lipase levels tells you nothing about how the pancreas is behaving in acute pancreatitis; cross-sectional imaging is required.
Ep 10 · 20:06
clinical The step-up approach for necrotizing pancreatitis—starting with transgastric endoscopic necrosectomy—reduces major complications compared to open surgery.
Ep 10 · 21:36
clinical Asymptomatic pseudocysts, regardless of size, do not require intervention.
Ep 10 · 23:29
clinical Patients with acute pancreatitis should be fed as soon as possible (orally or via NG/NJ tube) because bacterial translocation from NPO status will complicate the disease.
Ep 10 · 23:29
quote Please feed your patients as soon as you can, all right? If they're vomiting and they're gonna puke it, well, that doesn't make any sense. You, if you have to throw out an NG or an NG tube, feed the god because bacterial translocation from NPL will complicate acute pancreatitis.

Ep 10 · 25:38
clinical Cincinnati Children's evaluates over 100 patients per year for chronic pancreatitis but only operates on 25–30, because medical and endoscopic options should be exhausted first.

clinical Chronic pain in pancreatitis involves brain plasticity, hypertrophic nerve reactions, and peripheral nerve hypersensitization, not just organic retroperitoneal pain.
Ep 10 · 27:43
quote I'm gonna take your pancreas out if it's uh indicated, and I'm gonna take care of 95% of your pain. But that 5, 5% that is left. We need to work with psych, behavioral med, uh, and eventually reteach their brains how to live not in pain.

Ep 10 · 28:37
clinical Pediatric chronic pancreatitis usually presents with minimal ductal changes, not the dilated ducts seen in adults, so drainage procedures are often not applicable.
Ep 10 · 28:57
clinical In patients with genetic mutations, partial pancreatectomy (Whipple, distal pancreatectomy) discards islet mass and does not address the underlying defect, so the remaining pancreas continues to be affected.
Ep 10 · 28:57
quote If you have a genetic mutation and you chop off a piece of the pancreas, throw it in the trash. You can maybe relieve some of the pain. If you do whipple, have the pancreas drain better, do a piece so, I'm gonna touch base on that in a sec, drain the pancreatic duct better. But I put a piece of paper in the trash. And the genetic mutations will keep affecting the rest of the pancreas.

Ep 10 · 39:00
clinical The goal of islet autotransplantation is to replace beta cell mass and insulin secretory capacity, not to cure diabetes—pain control is the primary indication.
Ep 10 · 40:28
clinical TPIAT used to be a 20-hour operation but is now down to an average of 8–9 hours at Cincinnati Children's.
Ep 10 · 43:15
clinical Spleen-sparing TPIAT has equal glycemic outcomes to splenectomy TPIAT when islet equivalent per kilogram transplanted is matched.
Ep 10 · 43:42
clinical Spleen-sparing TPIAT is now performed in 80% of cases (over the last 5 years), compared to none in the first 8 years of the program.
Ep 10 · 45:16
clinical Intraoperative pyloric Botox injection reduces gastroparesis, decreases length of stay, and improves time to full oral intake and glycemic control after TPIAT.
Ep 10 · 46:27
clinical Islet isolation takes about 3–3.5 hours, sometimes 4 hours depending on the degree of pancreatic injury.
Ep 10 · 47:39
clinical TPIAT is performed under anticoagulation (heparin) to prevent portal vein thrombosis during islet infusion.
Ep 10 · 48:11
clinical Portal vein thrombosis rate at Cincinnati Children's is less than 1% for TPIAT.

clinical TPIAT results in over 80% reduction in opioid use at 1–2 months, with sustained effect for years.
Ep 10 · 51:32
clinical Younger children are more likely to achieve insulin independence and opioid independence after TPIAT.
Ep 10 · 52:25
clinical Islet yield (IEQ/kg) is inversely related to pancreatic calcification, ductal dilation, fibrosis, duration of symptoms, and prior resections or drainage procedures.
Ep 10 · 53:03
clinical Transplanting ≥5000 islet equivalents per kilogram into the portal vein predicts 92% insulin independence at 36 months (Minnesota data); Cincinnati Children's currently achieves 70% insulin independence.
Ep 10 · 54:59
clinical Predictors of insulin independence after TPIAT include younger age at surgery, smaller body surface area, no pre-existing insulin dependence, and higher IEQ/kg transplanted.
Ep 10 · 56:09
clinical TPIAT dramatically improves quality of life in appropriately selected children, with families reporting they have 'never met this kid before'—new person, happy, playing, eating normally.
