Dear debzdebznz: I had a Sphinteroplasty in 1996. I was an open surgery in the

OR (surgery). The opened

my abdomen much as they did then I had my gall bladder removed. The open the

duodenum (3rd part of the

stomach that empties into the small intestine) and open the pancreatic duct by

cutting it open and sewing

the edges so that the duct will stay open and be able to drain again!! I had

an nasal- gastric tube and

pancreatitis after this surgery---so...it was very painful. I had a good

surgeon that helped control the

pain with a t titrated PCA. I was in the hospital for about 21 days. I went

home on TPN to allow the

area to rest and help before I could eat..

I hope is is the information you are looking for. The surgery is called A

Transduoedenal Sphinteroplasty

of the Pancreatic Duct

dezedebznz,

The splinteroplashy worked for bout 5-6 months then the symptions return. The

GI did and ERCP and the

duct was totally colsted again. TheN I had A Whipple which also failed and

proceeded to the

pancreatectomy and islet cell transpan, I has 251,000 islets and do not have to

take insulin. I do have

sone stomach emptying problems do the all the surgery I had in the area, which

causes me pain. Bot

generall I can eat the do not had to take insulin.

Life sure is beeter taht it was then I was in the hospital and on TPN for

monthes.

Thanks Gail

Is it common that the spincteroplasty only fixes the pain for 5 6

months. I see that it isnt that common.

I dont really want to have a resection at this stage ....

They dont do islet cell transplants here in NZ
