Research Abstract |
In this study, we performed hepatectomy with pancreatectomy to assess the physiological contribution of the pancreas, especially in terms of endocrine function to hepatic regeneration. -five dogs were divided into the following four groups, group1 dogs underwent 70% hepatectomy alone, group2 dogs underwent with 66% pancreatectomy, group3 dogs underwent with 80% pancreatectomy, group4 dogs underwent with 95% pancreatectomy. While 4 week survival rate of the group1 was 100%, the survival rate decreased significantly in group2-4. The liver regeneration rate in group2,3 and 4 were also lower than those in group1. Changes on pancreatic hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, in a portal blood after the simultaneus resection of the liver and the pancreas depended on the size of the resected pancreas. Glucagon levels in the portal blood were especially increased in the group of hepatectomy with pancreatectomy. These results show that the pancreatic hormones affect the liver regeneration after the operation. In clinical practice, large scale simultaneous hepatectomy and pancreatectomy carries a high risk of postoperative hepatic insufficiency. Our present findings nay contribute to establishing prophylactic administration of glucagon and insulin to help stimulate the hepatic regeneration after evisceration.
