[Long-term results of the surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis].
Revista Española de Enfermedades Digestivas 1994 August
We analized the long-term results after surgical treatment in 41 patients with chronic pancreatitis. Twenty one of them underwent resection: 19 pancreaticoduodenectomy (11 Whipple procedure and 8 Traverso Longmire); total pancreatectomy (1) and near-total pancreatectomy (1). In the remaining 20 patients a drainage procedure was carried out: Puestow-Duval (5); Partington (7); double derivation: pancreatic and biliar (5); triple derivation: pancreatic, biliar, gastric (2) and Nardi procedure+quisteduodenostomy in one patient. The following were evaluated: persistent pain; chronic alcoholism; nutrition status; exocrine function (syntomatic steatorrea, use of pancreatic enzyme preparation and fecal determination of glucide, protids and lipids) and endocrine function (glucose and insulin levels and glucose oral test). Surgery failed to relieve pain in 15.6% of the patients; failures were associated chronic alcoholism (p < 0.05); 18 patients (44%) required oral pancreatic enzymes. There weren't significant differences between resection and drainage procedures regarding the exocrine function. However, endocrine function was significantly worse (p < 0.05) after pancreaticoduodenectomy than after drainages procedures. Among the late, the endocrine function was better after Partington operation than after the Puestow-Duval.
