Abstract:

Total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) is the preferred treatment for debilitating chronic pancreatitis (CP) and recurrent acute pancreatitis (RAP) in adults and children who have failed pharmacological and endoscopic therapies. This approach has been practiced in Europe and the United States for nearly 50 years. In 2014, Professor Bellin initiated a large-scale multicenter prospective observational study (POST) on TPIAT to systematically investigate the key questions regarding the patient selection, risks of persistent pain and disability, diabetes risk, optimal timing for surgery, intervention strategies, and the economic viability of the procedure, publishing a series of research works. This review outlines the background of the POST and its published research findings, and also reviewed the results of other teams' research surrounding these directions, aiming to enhance healthcare professionals' understanding of TPIAT technology and its advancements, thereby provide reference for the development of clinical TPIAT work in China.

Key words: Total pancreatectomy, Islet autotransplantation, Chronic pancreatitis, Recurrent acute pancreatitis, Prospective study
