Description

The aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of pancreatic resection for chronic pancreatitis in a long-term follow-up. Nineteen patients who had undergone pancreatic resection were selected. Sixteen patients had alcoholism, and 3 had unknown factors. PPPD was performed in 9 patients, DPPHR in 4 patients, PD in 3 patients, distal pancreatectomy in 3 patients. Mean postoperative period was 6.5 years. Pain relief was recognized in all patients postoperatively. Early complications after the operation occurred in 2 patients with delayed gastric emptying, and 1 patient with stenosis of choledocojejunal anastomosis. Diabetes mellitus had worsened in 5 patients (26.3%) postoperatively. Late complications occurred in 1 patient with cholangitis, and 2 patients with deterioration of chronic pancreatitis. Pancreatic resection for chronic pancreatitis provided good pain relief without any complications, so pancreatic resection was thought to be a feasible operation for patients with severe pain and without pancreatic disfunction.<br>
