背景:一名被诊断为囊性纤维化的21岁女性发展为肝硬化,胰腺外分泌功能不全,和胰岛素依赖型糖尿病。该患者符合双器官肝胰腺移植的资格,超出了典型的适应症。囊性纤维化的呼吸道症状中度且得到良好治疗。患者主要因肝功能不全和反复低血糖而危及生命,这是由于高剂量胰岛素治疗糖尿病。计算机断层扫描显示轻度支气管扩张,肝硬化,脾肿大,胰腺萎缩.铜绿假单胞菌定植于上呼吸道。胃肠道并发症足以使患者有资格进行肝胰腺联合移植。
方法:首先,进行了标准的肝切除术.肝脏原位移植。随后,该团队通过单独的切口进行了胰腺移植。供体的十二指肠与受体的空肠吻合,靠近Treitz的韧带.
结果:术后未发现严重并发症。移植的器官立即开始运作。6周后患者出院,一般情况良好。20个月后,病人感觉很好,移植物保持正常运行。
结论:肝胰腺联合移植治疗CF患者可恢复胰腺外分泌和内分泌功能,并可最大限度地减少与肝功能不全相关的危及生命并发症的风险。生活质量的改善与停止补充胰岛素和胰酶的可能性相吻合。肝胰腺联合移植可预防晚期肺部并发症,延长生存的预后,提高长期生活质量。
BACKGROUND: A 21-year-old woman diagnosed with cystic fibrosis developed cirrhosis, exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The patient qualified for double organ liver-pancreas transplantation beyond typical indications. The respiratory symptoms of cystic fibrosis were moderate and well-treated. The patient was endangered mainly by liver insufficiency and recurrent hypoglycemia, which was due to the treatment of diabetes with high doses of insulin. Computed tomography showed mild bronchiectasis, cirrhotic liver, splenomegaly, and atrophy of the pancreas. Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonized the upper respiratory tract. Gastrointestinal complications were sufficient for the patient to be qualified for combined liver-pancreas transplantation.
METHODS: First, a standard hepatectomy was performed. The liver was transplanted orthotopically. Subsequently, the team performed pancreas transplantation through a separate incision. The donor\'s duodenum was anastomosed to the recipient\'s jejunum, close to the ligament of Treitz.
RESULTS: No serious complications were noted during the postoperative period. Transplanted organs started functioning without delay. The patient was discharged after 6 weeks in general good condition. Twenty months later, the patient felt well, and the grafts kept functioning properly.
CONCLUSIONS: Combined liver-pancreas transplantation in patients with CF restores exocrine and endocrine pancreatic function and minimizes the risk of life-threatening complications associated with liver insufficiency. Improvement of life quality coincides with the possibility of discontinuing insulin and pancreatic enzyme supplementation. The combination of liver and pancreas transplantation may prevent advanced pulmonary complications, extend the prognosis of survival, and improve the long-term life quality.
