Q: Pancreatitis (chronic)
asked by: KsMom on August 18th, 2005

The doctors are wondering if this might be the answer for our 14 year old daughter who has severe chronic pancreatitis. She is tpn dependent, administered via a central line. She responds very little to the oral and patch pain medication. She underwent a celiac plexus block and had no response from it.
Has anyone had a pancreatectomy with auto islet transplant?

Pancreatectomy
Hello

i had very similar problems just like those mentioned from a very early age. This went on for years untill I was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis in 1996. I was then refered to a proffessor neoptolomos at the royal liverpool hospital and had my pancreas removed in dec 1996 it was very successful and as I was already diabetic I had a good idea what was ahead of me. Its been ten yrs now since my surgery and I feel great. Im on an insulin pump and life couldnt be better. :lol:
