Am J Surg 2023; 225:709-714. [PMID: 36266135 DOI: 10.1016/j.amjsurg.2022.10.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/12/2022] [Revised: 10/04/2022] [Accepted: 10/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/28/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The literature on predictors for postoperative complications after Frey procedure (FP) is sparse. The aim of this study is to report our experience with 90-day complications of FP and predictors for complications. METHODS All patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP), who underwent a FP between August 2007 and July 2021, were retrospectively reviewed. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to identify predictors of 90-day morbidity and mortality. RESULTS Of the total 270 patients, 84 (31%) patients developed at least one postoperative complication. Major complications occurred in 32 (12%) patients. Most common complication was wound infection and it was significantly more common in stented patients (p = 0.017). Pancreatic fistula and post pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH) developed in 7.4% of patients. Thirteen patients (4.8%) required early re-operation and the most common cause of re-exploration was PPH. 90-day mortality was 1% (n = 3) and all 3 patients required re-exploration for PPH. Median postoperative hospital stay was 9 (5-51) days. Perioperative blood transfusions was the only independent predictor of postoperative complications after FP. CONCLUSIONS Frey procedure is an acceptable treatment modality with low rates of mortality and reasonable perioperative morbidities. Minimizing blood transfusions may further improve 90-day outcomes.

Surgical outcomes of the Frey procedure for chronic pancreatitis: correlation between preoperative characteristics and the histological severity of pancreatic fibrosis. Surg Today 2023:10.1007/s00595-023-02653-5. [PMID: 36757617 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-023-02653-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/10/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of the Frey procedure and clarify the relationship between preoperative characteristics and the histological severity of chronic pancreatitis (CP). METHODS Thirty patients who underwent the Frey procedure for CP between January, 2002 and December, 2020, at our hospital, were enrolled in this study. The specimen cored out of the pancreatic head was assessed for CP severity. We evaluated preoperative status and surgical outcomes according to CP severity. RESULTS Long-term pain relief was achieved in all 26 patients with sustained long-term follow-up, with complete pain relief attained in 19 (63%). Albumin levels were significantly higher 1 year postoperatively than preoperatively (p = 0.038). Histological fibrosis was assessed in the 26 patients as follows: normal (n = 4; 15%), mild (n = 8; 31%), moderate (n = 2; 8%), and severe (n = 12; 46%). These patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of fibrosis: normal/mild (n = 12) and moderate/severe (n = 14). The rates of diffuse calcification on preoperative computed tomography (CT) (71% vs. 17%, p = 0.008) and islet atrophy on insulin immunohistochemistry (100% vs. 33%, p < 0.001) were significantly higher in the moderate/severe group than in the normal/mild group. CONCLUSION The Frey procedure can achieve good pain relief and improve nutritional status. The severity of fibrosis can be predicted based on the extent of calcification on preoperative imaging studies.

BMC Surg 2022; 22:424. [PMID: 36503674 PMCID: PMC9743672 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-022-01839-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2022] [Accepted: 11/03/2022] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease characterized by irreversible morphological changes due to chronic pancreatic fibrosis. The treatment goals are to relieve pain, preserve function, and prevent further pathological consequences. Endoscopic treatment, surgery, or both are options for untreatable pain or suspected malignancy. Frey procedure is a reasonable surgical intervention because of its hybrid character, combining resection and drainage. Unfortunately, there is limited information about the outcomes of this procedure in Latin America, and few cases described in Colombia. This study aims to describe the experience of a pancreatic surgery reference center in the management of patients undergoing Frey's surgery for chronic pancreatitis. METHODS A retrospective review of a prospectively collected database of patients who underwent a Frey procedure due to chronic pancreatitis between January 2014 to February 2022 in a hospital in Bogotá, Colombia, was made. A demographic, clinical, and postoperative outcome description was performed. Mann-Whitney Willcoxon test was performed between operative variables and long-term outcomes. RESULTS Eighteen patients met the inclusion criteria. 55.5% of patients were male. Chronic pancreatitis etiology in most cases (83.3% n = 15) was idiopathic. The median duration of symptoms and chronic pancreatitis diagnosis before surgery was 6.15 months (IQR 5;97). Overall morbidity was 38.88%. One patient died at 30 days of follow-up. The median follow-up time was 42.5 (IQR 19;65 months). The median pain reduction was 3 points according to the visual analog score. Six patients were diagnosed with malignant conditions after surgery (mean 27.8 ± 7.5 months). Wirsung's duct size was statistically related with malignancy presentation after Frey's procedure (Z = 2.54; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION According to our data, Frey's procedure remains safe and feasible, with acceptable outcomes in terms of pain relief and pancreatic function. The study confirms the importance of a longstanding follow-up due to an inherent risk of pancreatic malignancy. Our data suggest that pancreatic duct size could be related with the malignancy diagnosis after Frey's procedure; however, further prospective studies with a larger sample size would be helpful to confirm these results.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is (CP) is a progressive inflammatory disease of the pancreas associated with disabling abdominal pain and gradual deterioration of exocrine and endocrine function. Up to 50% of patients with CP may require surgery during the course of the disease. The main indication for surgery is intractable abdominal pain not amenable to medical and endoscopic therapy. The type of surgery depends on pancreatic ductal diameter and associated parenchymal pathology like inflammatory head mass. Frey procedure (FP) is an effective method for control of pain in patients with enlarged pancreatic head. FP can be performed with a very low mortality and an acceptable morbidity. Compared with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), FP has favourable outcomes in terms of operation time, blood loss, morbidity, post-operative hospital stay, intensive care unit stay, and quality of life. FP has shorter operation time and lower morbidity in comparison to Beger procedure. But, long-term pain control and exocrine and endocrine dysfunctions are comparable between PD, Beger and FP. FP is technically easier than PD and Beger procedure. FP is thus a widely acceptable procedure for CP with enlarged pancreatic head in absence of a neoplasia. Frey procedure for chronic pancreatitis is associated with acceptable perioperative. morbidity and a low mortality. It provides excellent pain control. It is an effective procedure for chronic pancreatitis with enlarged pancreatic head.

Abstract
Aim Pancreaticodigestive tract anastomotic stricture is a long-term complication of pancreticoduodenectomy (PD). However, optimal treatment has not yet been defined. We conducted longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) in symptomatic patients with anastomotic stricture after PD. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of this procedure. Methods Pancreticoduodenectomy was performed in 605 patients at our institution between January 2005 and April 2020. Of these, 15 patients (2.5%) developed symptomatic pancreaticodigestive tract anastomotic stricture after PD. Three patients were referred to our institution owing to recurrent pancreatitis with anastomotic stricture after PD. LPJ was indicated for these 18 patients, and they were enrolled in this study. Results The median time from the initial operation to LPJ was 2.0 y. Preoperative clinical presentations included obstructive pancreatitis in 10 patients, a rapid deterioration of glucose tolerance in nine, and severe steatorrhea in two. Surgical morbidity ≥grade III defined by the Clavien-Dindo classification was not observed. After LPJ, preoperative symptoms improved in 16 patients (89%) during a median follow-up of 39 mo. Nine of the 10 patients with obstructive pancreatitis achieved complete pain relief. All nine patients with a rapid deterioration of glucose tolerance showed improved endocrine function. Daily insulin requirement was significantly decreased after LPJ (11.6 ± 3.3 vs 3.4 ± 4.3 units, P = .0239). Four of the seven patients who required insulin injections were free of insulin after LPJ. Conclusion LPJ is a safe and effective surgical procedure for symptomatic patients with stricture of the pancreaticodigestive tract anastomosis after PD.

Reporting of longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy with partial pancreatic head resection (the Frey procedure) for chronic pancreatitis: A systematic review. Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int 2021; 20:110-116. [PMID: 33637453 DOI: 10.1016/j.hbpd.2021.02.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2020] [Accepted: 02/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy with partial pancreatic head resection (the Frey procedure) is accepted for surgical treatment of painful chronic pancreatitis. However, conduct and reporting are not standardized and thus, making comparisons difficult. This study assesses the reporting standards of this procedure. DATA SOURCES A systematic literature review was performed between January 1987 and January 2020. The keyword and Medical Subject Heading "chronic pancreatitis" was used together with the individual operation term "Frey pancreatojejunostomy". Reports were included if they provided original information on conduct and outcome. Thirty-three papers providing information on 1205 patients constituted the study population. Risk of bias in included reports was assessed. RESULTS Etiology of chronic pancreatitis (alcohol) was reported in 26 of 28 (93%) studies, duration of symptoms prior to surgery in 19 (58%) studies and pre-operative opiate use in 12 (36%) studies. In terms of morphology, pancreatic duct diameter was reported in 17 (52%) studies and diameter of the pancreatic head in 13 (39%) studies. In terms of technique, three (9%) studies reported weight of excised parenchyma. There were 9 (0.7%) procedure-related deaths. Post-operative follow-up ranged from 6 to 82.5 months. No studies reported post-operative portal hypertension. CONCLUSIONS There is substantial heterogeneity between studies in reporting of clinical baseline, morphology of the diseased pancreas, operative detail and outcome after longitudinal pancreatojejunostomy with partial pancreatic head resection. This critically compromises the comparison between centers and between surgeons. Structured reporting is necessary for clinicians to assess choice of procedure and for patients to make informed choices when seeking treatment for painful chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report our experience with Frey procedure (FP) for chronic pancreatitis (CP) in adults. METHODS Adult patients with CP, who underwent a FP between August 2007 and July 2018, were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Of the total 138 patients, 95 (69%) were male. The median age at operation was 36.5 years. The median pain-surgery interval was 48 months. Alcohol abuse was identified in 64 (46%) patients. The major indication for surgery was disabling pain (94%). There was no postoperative mortality. Postoperative complications developed in 43 (31%) patients. Median postoperative hospital stay was 9 days. Over a median follow-up of 65 months, 84% of patients had complete pain relief. Continuous pain and high preoperative Izbicki pain score were associated with incomplete pain control. New-onset diabetes and exocrine insufficiency developed in 31% and 27% of patients respectively. Longer duration of disease and previous pancreatic surgery were associated with the development of new-onset diabetes after the FP. CONCLUSIONS Frey procedure is safe with an acceptable perioperative complications and good long-term pain control.

Abstract
The Frey procedure, which involves longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy with coring-out of the pancreatic head, is considered the ideal surgical procedure for chronic pancreatitis with pancreas head stone. Long-term relief from abdominal pain after the Frey procedure was reported to reach about 90%, and this is the most common surgical procedure for chronic pancreatitis in Japan. However, coring-out has the potential risk of severe complications such as bile duct injury, pancreatic fistula, and postoperative hemorrhage. Therefore, we introduce a new lithotripsy technique using laparoscopic coagulation shear without coring-out.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to report on the short-and long-term outcomes of surgery for chronic pancreatitis (CP) in children. METHODS All the children, who underwent surgery for CP between August 2007 and July 2019 in the Department of Surgical gastroenterology, Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research, Kolkata, India were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Of the total 54 patients, 33 (61%) were girls. The median age at operation was 16.5 years. The median duration between onset of pain and surgery was 36 months. 26% of patients were referred after failure of endotherapy. The most common indication for surgery was pain (94%). Surgery performed included modified Puestow (n = 26), Frey (n = 25), and Izbicki procedures. Twelve postoperative complications developed in ten (18.5%) patients. Most common complication was wound infection. Pancreatic leak developed in four (7.4%) patients (type A = 3, type B = 1). Median postoperative hospital stay was 8 days. There was no in-hospital mortality. Over a median follow-up of 48 months, 83% of patients had complete pain control. Weight gain was achieved in 77% of patients. New-onset diabetes and exocrine insufficiency developed in 4 and 14% of patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Surgery is safe with fairly acceptable perioperative complications and good long-term pain control.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE To determine the short- and long-term results of surgical treatments for chronic pancreatitis (CP) at a high-volume center in Japan. METHODS The records of 151 consecutive patients undergoing surgery for CP were retrospectively reviewed. Selection of surgical procedures used had been according to the Japanese Clinical Practice Guidelines for CP 2015. Long-term (≥1 year) follow-up was performed in 100 patients (median of 37 months). RESULTS Surgical drainage procedures were performed in 107 patients (Frey operation in 81, longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy in 26), pancreatic resection in 37 (subtotal stomach-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy in 11, distal pancreatectomy in 26), and other procedures in six. The rates of postoperative mortality and morbidity were 1% and 26%, respectively. The rates of complete and partial pain relief were 62% and 37%. The frequency of occurrence of severe morbidity was significantly higher after pancreatic resection than in patients receiving drainage procedures (13% vs 2%, P = .019). The rate of new-onset diabetes was also significantly higher after resection than drainage (60% vs 25%, P = .017). CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment for painful chronic pancreatitis can be safe and effective. An optimal procedure should guarantee pain relief and preserve a maximum of pancreatic function.

Abstract
The selection of optimum surgical procedure from the range of reported operations for chronic pancreatitis (CP) can be difficult. The aim of this study is to explore geographical variation in reporting of elective surgery for CP. A systematic search of the literature was performed using the Scopus database for reports of five selected procedures for CP: duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection, total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT), Frey pancreaticojejunostomy, thoracoscopic splanchnotomy and the Izbicki V-shaped resection. The keyword and MESH heading 'chronic pancreatitis' was used. Overall, 144 papers met inclusion criteria and were utilized for data extraction. There were 33 reports of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection. Twenty-one (64%) were from Germany. There were 60 reports of TPIAT, 53 (88%) from the USA. There are only two reports of TPIAT from outwith the USA and UK. The 34 reports of the Frey pancreaticojejunostomy originate from 12 countries. There were 20 reports of thoracoscopic splanchnotomy originating from nine countries. All three reports of the Izbicki 'V' procedure are from Germany. There is geographical variation in reporting of surgery for CP. There is a need for greater standardization in the selection and reporting of surgery for patients with painful CP.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Frey's procedure involves both drainage and resection of the pancreas in subjects with chronic calcific pancreatitis (CCP). The procedure may affect the pancreatic endocrine function after surgery. The present study was to evaluate the effect of Frey's procedure on both beta and alpha cell function in CCP patients. METHODS Thirty CCP patients who underwent Frey's procedure were included. According to the glycemic status, patients were divided into the diabetes mellitus (DM), prediabetes, and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) groups. Islet cell function was assessed before and 3 months after surgery. RESULTS At baseline, there was a significant difference in beta cell function among the three groups [NGT group 1.71 (1.64-2.07) vs prediabetes group1.50 (0.83-1.61) vs DM group 0.33 (0.12-0.55), P < 0.0001], but the insulin resistance was not different among them. Post glucose hyperglucagonemia representing alpha-cell dysfunction during oral glucose tolerance test was present in all of them, but showed no significant difference [NGT group 0.15 (0.06-0.31) vs prediabetes group 0.32 (0.05-0.70) vs DM group 0.07 (0.02-0.18), P = 0.20]. Frey's procedure did not change beta cell function and insulin resistance. However, alpha-cell dysfunction deteriorated after surgery [0.10 (0.03-0.27) vs 0.33 (0.09-0.68), P = 0.004]. CONCLUSIONS Although Frey's procedure does not affect the beta cell function and insulin resistance in CCP patients, the alpha-cell dysfunction deteriorates after surgery.

Abstract
AIM To retrospectively review patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) treated with Frey’s procedures between January 2009 and January 2014.
METHODS A retrospective review was performed of patients with CP treated with Frey’s procedures between January 2009 and January 2014 in the Department of Pancreatic Surgery. A cross-sectional study of postoperative pain relief, quality of life (QoL), and alcohol and nicotine abuse was performed by clinical interview, letters and telephone interview in January 2016. QoL of patients was evaluated with the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30) version 3.0. The patients were requested to fill in the questionnaires by themselves via correspondence or clinical interview.
RESULTS A total of 80 patients were enrolled for analysis, including 44 who underwent the original Frey’s procedure and 36 who underwent a modified Frey’s procedure. The mean age was 46 years in the original group and 48 years in the modified group. Thirty-five male patients (80%) were in the original group and 33 (92%) in the modified group. There were no differences in the operating time, blood loss, and postoperative morbidity and mortality between the two groups. The mean follow-up was 50.3 mo in the original group and 48.7 mo in the modified group. There were no differences in endocrine and exocrine function preservation between the two groups. The original Frey’s procedure resulted in significantly better pain relief, as shown by 5-year follow-up (P = 0.032), better emotional status (P = 0.047) and fewer fatigue symptoms (P = 0.028). When stratifying these patients by the M-ANNHEIM severity index, no impact was found on pain relief after the two types of surgery.
CONCLUSION The original Frey’s procedure is as safe as the modified procedure, but the former yields better pain relief. The severity of CP does not affect postoperative pain relief.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating disease, associated with excruciating abdominal pain, exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Different types of surgical techniques have been described for the management of complications of this disease. The most common procedure which has been adopted for improving the quality of life of the patients with chronic pancreatitis is Frey's Procedure. It is an organ preserving procedure in which the main pancreatic duct is drained by lateral pancreatico-jejunostomy along with coring of the head of the pancreas. AIM In this study, we have assessed the outcome of Frey's procedure in terms of quality of life in patients with chronic pancreatitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a prospective observational study done at a tertiary care center in West Bengal, India. The study period was from 2010 to 2014. All the patients who have undergone Frey's Procedure during the study duration and with the postoperative histopathology of chronic pancreatitis were included in this study. The preoperative and postoperative pain and quality of life assessment was done using VAS score (0-100) and EORTC QLQ-C30 (Version 3) respectively. The statistical analysis was performed with the help of Epi Info (TM) 3.5.3. RESULTS A total of 35 patients with chronic pancreatitis underwent Frey's procedure during the study period. The mean age (mean ± s.e) of the 33 patients included in the study was 38.48±5.55 years with a range of 29-49 years. The mean preoperative Physical Functional Domain (PFD), Physical Domain (PD), Emotional Domain (ED), Social Domain (SD) and general health raw score with standard errors were 32.06±0.40, 37.86±0.36, 15.18±0.32, 8.63±0.31 and 4.48±0.26 respectively. ANOVA showed that there was significant differences in PFD, PD, ED, SD and GH values during different time period of follow up (p<0.0001) and as per Critical Difference the postoperative values of PFD, PD, ED and SD decreased while postoperative value of GH increased significantly in different months compared to the preoperative values. CONCLUSION We conclude that Frey's procedure is a low risk surgery, which significantly improves the quality of life of the patients with chronic pancreatitis in all the domains and can be recommended as a surgical therapy for such patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Patients with chronic pancreatitis often require surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the published evidence for Frey procedure in patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS Literature search was undertaken to identify eligible studies until February 2015. Using meta-analytical techniques, Frey procedure was compared with pancreatoduodenectomy or Beger procedure, and the short- and long-term outcomes were analysed. RESULTS Twenty-three studies comprising a total of 800 patients were reviewed. The postoperative morbidity and mortality were 23.2% and 0.4% respectively. The percentage of postoperative pain-relief patients was 89.4%. New onset of diabetes and exocrine insufficiency was present in 17.3% and 30.7% of patients, respectively. Compared with pancreatoduodenectomy, Frey procedure had favorable outcomes in terms of operation time, blood transfusion, overall morbidity, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, pancreatic function and quality of life. Compared with Beger procedure, Frey procedure had shorter operation time and lower morbidity. CONCLUSIONS Frey procedure is a safe and effective surgical procedure for chronic pancreatitis with dilated duct in the absence of neoplasia.
