Surgical team leaders from the UA Department of Surgery, Rainer W.G. Gruessner, MD, professor and chairman, and Carlos Galvani, MD, associate professor and director of minimally invasive and robotic surgery, operated on Tami Alveshere, 39, from North Dakota. Horacio L. Rilo, MD, profes- sor and director of the Institute for Cellular Trans- plantation, isolated 248,000 islets from Alveshere’s removed pancreas using the department’s Class 10,000 clean room, a state-of-the-art laboratory designed for this procedure. Chronic pancreatitis progressively destroys pancreatic tissue, causing pain that frequently requires hospitalization and severely compromises quality of life. Analgesics and pancreatic enzyme replacement rarely lead to acceptable relief of the pain. In Western Europe and North America, chronic pancreatitis is diagnosed in 3 to 9 out of 100,000 people each year. Based on estimates from U.S. hospital discharge data, about 87,000 cases of pancreatitis occur annually. Alveshere had suffered from debilitating chronic pancreatitis for years and required high doses of narcotic pain medication. A pancreatec- tomy (surgical removal of the pancreas) was her © 2013 ziembaphoto.com (3) last option to escape the severe pain and narcotic Using the da Vinci surgical robot, surgeons are able to remove dependency caused by the disease. the whole pancreas, without damaging the islets, and to However, without a pancreas, she would have reconstruct the gastrointestinal tract.
