[PMID: 39087135 PMCID: PMC11287669 DOI: 10.4240/wjgs.v16.i7.2308] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 06/12/2024] [Indexed: 07/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical intervention involving the pancreas can lead to impaired glucose tolerance and other types of endocrine dysfunction. The scope of pancreatectomy and whether it includes the ventral pancreas are the key factors in the development of postoperative diabetes. The ventral and dorsal pancreases are almost separated in Suncus murinus (S. murinus). AIM To investigate the effects of different extents of pancreatic resection on endocrine function in S. murinus. METHODS Eight-week-old male S. murinus shrews were randomly divided into three experimental groups according to different pancreatic resection ranges as follows: ventral pancreatectomy (VPx) group; partial pancreatectomy (PPx) group; subtotal pancreatectomy (SPx) group; and a sham-operated group. Postprandial serum insulin, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), pancreatic polypeptide (PP), and somatostatin (SST) levels, as well as food intake, weight, blood glucose, and glucose tolerance were regularly measured for each animal. RESULTS S. murinus treated with PPx and SPx suffered from varying degrees of impaired glucose tolerance, but only a small proportion of the SPx group developed diabetes. Only S. murinus in the SPx group showed a significant decrease in food intake accompanied by severe weight loss, as well as a significant increase in postprandial serum GLP-1 levels. Postprandial serum PP levels decreased in both the VPx and PPx groups, but not in the SPx group. Postprandial serum SST levels decreased in both VPx and PPx groups, but the decrease was marginal. CONCLUSION Severe weight loss after pancreatectomy may be related to loss of appetite caused by compensatory elevation of GLP-1. PP and GLP-1 may play a role in resisting blood glucose imbalance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatitis is a common surgical emergency, associated with pain and poor quality of life for patients. However, assessment of patient-reported outcome measures in these patients is unclear. This study aimed to identify and evaluate the methodological quality of the health-related quality of life instruments used for patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis. METHODS Prospective studies that evaluated health-related quality of life in acute or chronic pancreatitis were identified from systematic review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Web of Science until 28th June 2023 (PROSPERO: CRD42021274743). Instrument characteristics were extracted, and methodological quality assessed using COSMIN (COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments) guidelines and GRADE approach. Narrative synthesis was conducted, with recommendations for use based on COSMIN criteria, evaluated according to World Health Organisation (WHO) quality of life domains. RESULTS From 3850 records screened, 41 quality of life instruments were identified across 138 studies included. The majority (69.8%, n = 26) were designed to assess general health-related quality of life, whereas the remainder were abdominal-specific (n = 5) or pancreas-specific (n = 10). Only ten instruments (24.3%) demonstrated sufficient content validity, incorporating items in ≥5 WHO quality of life domains. However, only nine instruments (21.9%) incorporated public and patient involvement. Only the Gastrointestinal Quality of Life Index and PAN-PROMISE met the criteria to be recommended for use based on COSMIN methodological assessment. CONCLUSION There is significant heterogeneity in instruments used to assess quality of life after pancreatitis, with almost all instruments considered insufficient. Robust, validated, and relevant instruments are needed to better understand and determine appropriate interventions to improve quality of life for these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The impact of chronic pancreatitis (CP) on quality of life (QOL) of children is not well established. Our objective was to evaluate the QOL, identify contributing factors, and determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression in children with CP in India. METHODS Children (8-18y old) with CP were prospectively enrolled across three pediatric gastroenterology centres in India. QOL was assessed using the pediatric QOL inventory (PedsQL 4.0) scale, administered to both children and their parents. Anxiety and depression was studied using the Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS 25). Contributing factors were identified using binary logistic regression analysis. The data was compared against published QOL data in healthy Indian children. RESULTS 121 children with CP (boys-57.9 %, age at QOL-14 ± 3.2years) were enrolled. A majority (82.7 %) had pain and advanced disease (Cambridge grade IV- 63.6 %). Children with CP had poorer QOL compared to controls (total score 74.6 ± 16 vs. 87.5 ± 11.1, p < 0.0001). QOL scores were similar across centres. Older children were similar to younger ones, except for a poorer emotional QOL. Taking QOL < -2 standard deviation (SD) of controls, ∼35 % had poor physical (50.9 ± 11.9) and 20 % had poor psychosocial (PS) QOL score (52.1 ± 7.2). On analysis, presence of pain and lower socio-economic status (SES) adversely affected both physical and PS-QOL. Additionally, girls had poorer PS-QOL than boys (Odds ratio 3.1, 95%CI:1.23-7.31). Anxiety and depression were uncommon (2,1.6 %). CONCLUSIONS Patients with CP had impaired physical and psycho-social QOL. Presence of pain and lower SES adversely affected QOL. Psychiatric comorbidities were uncommon.

Abstract
As a progressive fibroinflammatory disease, chronic pancreatitis (CP) often manifests as recurrent bouts of abdominal pain with or without complications, causing a heavy burden of health care. In recent years, some meaningful insights into the management of CP have been obtained from randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses, which were of great importance. Based on this research, it is shown that there are various treatments for CP. Therefore, it is of great importance to choose a suitable strategy for patients with CP individually. Relevant evidence on the management of CP was summarized in this review, including nutrition supplements, medication, endoscopy, surgery, exploration of novel therapies as well as evaluation and prediction of treatment response.

Long-term quality of life between duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection and pancreatoduodenectomy: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Surg 2024; 110:1139-1148. [PMID: 38000055 PMCID: PMC10871662 DOI: 10.1097/js9.0000000000000879] [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: 08/14/2023] [Accepted: 10/20/2023] [Indexed: 11/26/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The authors aimed to compare the differences in quality of life (QOL) and overall survival (OS) between duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) and pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) during long-term follow-up. DPPHR and PD have been shown to be effective in alleviating symptoms and controlling malignancies, but there is ongoing debate over whether DPPHR has an advantage over PD in terms of long-term benefits. METHOD The authors searched the PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, and Web of Science databases for relevant studies comparing DPPHR and PD published before 1 May 2023. This study was registered with PROSPERO. Randomised controlled trials and non-randomised studies were included. The Mantel-Haenszel model and inverse variance method were used as statistical approaches for data synthesis. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the heterogeneity of the results. The primary outcome was the global QOL score, measured using the QLQ-C30 system. RESULTS The authors analysed ten studies involving 976 patients (456 DPPHR and 520 PD). The global QOL score did not differ significantly between the DPPHR and PD groups [standard mean difference (SMD) 0.21, 95% CI (-0.05, 0.46), P =0.109, I2 =70%]; however, the OS time of patients with DPPHR was significantly improved [hazard ratio 0.59, 95% CI (0.44, 0.77), P <0.001, I2 =0%]. The follow-up length may be an important source of heterogeneity. Studies with follow-up length between two to seven years showed better global QOL for DPPHR than for PD [SMD 0.43, 95% CI (0.23, 0.64), P <0.001, I2 =0%]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in any of the functional scales of the QLQ-C30 system (all P >0.05). On the symptom scale, patients in the DPPHR group had lower scores for fatigue, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, insomnia, and diarrhoea than those in the PD group (all P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant differences in global QOL scores between the two surgeries; however, DPPHR had advantages over PD in terms of safer perioperative outcomes, lower long-term symptom scores, and longer OS times. Therefore, DPPHR should be recommended over PD for the treatment of benign pancreatic diseases and low-grade malignant tumours.

Abstract
This systematic review evaluates the efficacy of surgical interventions in improving the quality of life for patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP). A thorough literature search, following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, identified 11 studies that focused on patient-reported outcomes after surgical treatments, including pancreatic resections, drainage procedures, and duodenum-preserving head resections. The findings indicate that organ-preserving procedures, notably the Frey and Beger operations, significantly enhance pain control and overall quality of life while reducing analgesic dependency. This review provides crucial insights into the long-term efficacy and comparative benefits of different surgical approaches, highlighting the need for personalized surgical strategies in CP management. It emphasizes the necessity for standardized outcome measures and further comparative research to refine CP treatment protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Debate exists regarding the optimal treatment for painful chronic pancreatitis (CP). This meta-analysis aims to determine the outcomes of surgical intervention as compared to endoscopy in patients with painful CP. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis including studies from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Databases (1995 onwards) was done by two independent reviewers using PRISMA guidelines. Primary outcome was pain relief. RESULTS Among 8,479 studies, three were randomized trials, comprising a total of 199 patients. Compared with endoscopy, surgery was associated with a lower Izbicki score, both at medium term (mean difference (MD) 21.46, 95% confidence interval (CI) 13.48-29.43, p < 0.00001) and long term (MD: 17.80, 95% CI: 8.36-27.23, p = 0.0002). A higher proportion of surgical patients had some sort of pain relief compared with those who had endoscopy, both at medium term (72% vs. 46%, RR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.19-1.90, p = 0.0006) and long term (73% vs. 47%, RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 1.19-1.89, p = 0.0007). Complete pain relief was more common in the surgical group compared to the endoscopy group, both at medium term (33% vs. 17%, RR: 1.97, 95% CI: 1.16-3.36, p = 0.01) and long term (35% vs. 18%, RR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.15-3.20, p = 0.01). The pooled crossover rate from endoscopy to surgery was 22% (22/99). CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment in patients with painful CP leads to better pain control, requiring fewer interventions as compared to endoscopic treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) causes suffering and socioeconomic burden. This study evaluated perioperative results and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in CP patients treated with duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR). METHODS Data were analyzed of CP patients undergoing DPPHR between 01/2001-10/2014. PROs were measured using a specifically designed questionnaire and the EORTC QLQ-C30/PAN26. Associations between treatment variables and PROs were examined. RESULTS Of 332 patients who received DPPHR, most (n = 251, 75.6%) underwent the Berne modification. Surgical morbidity was 21.5% (n = 71) and 90-day mortality 1.5% (n = 5). Median follow-up was 79.9 months, 5-year survival 90.5%, and 1.8% of patients developed pancreatic cancer. Of 283 patients alive, 178 (62.9%) returned questionnaires. Referral for surgery was self-initiated (38.0% of cases), by gastroenterologists (27.5%) and by general practitioners (21.1%). QoL improved in 78.7% of patients, remained stable in 12.1%, and worsened in 9.1%. Median Izbicki scores decreased from 90 to 5 points after surgery (p < 0.0001). Time from diagnosis to DPPHR was an independent, proportional predictor of a higher postoperative Izbicki score (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION DPPHR is an effective, safe treatment for CP. A delay in surgery decreases surgical effectivity, hence CP patients should be referred to surgery early to ensure satisfactory outcomes.

Abstract
ObjectivesIn this systemic review and network meta-analysis, we investigated pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD), and different modifications of duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) to evaluate the efficacy of different surgical procedures.MethodsA systemic search of six databases was conducted to identify studies comparing PD, PPPD, and DPPHR for treating pancreatic head benign and low-grade malignant lesions. Meta-analyses and network meta-analyses were performed to compare different surgical procedures.ResultsA total of 44 studies were enrolled in the final synthesis. Three categories of a total of 29 indexes were investigated. The DPPHR group had better working ability, physical status, less loss of body weight, and less postoperative discomfort than the Whipple group, while both groups had no differences in quality of life (QoL), pain scale scores, and other 11 indexes. Network meta-analysis of a single procedure found that DPPHR had a larger probability of best performance in seven of eight analyzed indexes than PD or PPPD.ConclusionDPPHR and PD/PPPD have equal effects on improving QoL and pain relief, while PD/PPPD has more severe symptoms and more complications after surgery. PD, PPPD, and DPPHR procedures exhibit different strengths in treating pancreatic head benign and low-grade malignant lesions.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier: CRD42022342427.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating disease. It is caused by the progressive destruction of normal pancreatic parenchyma, which is replaced by fibrous tissue causing pain in addition to pancreatic insufficiency. There is no single mechanism of pain in chronic pancreatitis. Several medical, endoscopic, and surgical treatment strategies are available to control this disease. Surgical techniques are divided into resection, drainage, and hybrid procedures. The review aimed to compare various surgical procedures used in the management of chronic pancreatitis. The ideal operation is the one that effectively and persistently relieves the pain and has the least morbidity with favorable pancreatic reserve. All the randomized control trials from inception to January 2023, which fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were extensively searched on PubMed and a systemic review was conducted comparing the surgical outcomes of the variety of operations used in chronic pancreatitis. Duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection is the common procedure done with favorable outcomes.

[PMID: 35840048 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2022.106775] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Revised: 06/30/2022] [Accepted: 07/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In light of the challenges associated with pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and recent key improvements, this bibliometric analysis aimed to analyze the 100 top-cited (T100) articles related to PD surgery to widen the awareness of relevant research on this procedure. METHODS The term "pancreaticoduodenectomy" was used to retrieve articles from the Web of Science Core Collection database. The 100 most cited manuscripts in the English language were identified and further analyzed by their countries of origin, publication journals, authors, and themes. RESULTS A thorough literature search was performed on the Web of Science until April 2020. The total number of citations for the T100 articles ranged from 227 to 3029. The T100 articles came from 18 different countries, with the USA accounting for the plurality (n = 72). Professor J.L. Cameron from Johns Hopkins Medicine USA published the most articles (n = 22), including one as the first author and two as a co-author. Furthermore, Johns Hopkins Medicine, USA, published the most articles on PD surgery (n = 24), with a total citation count of 14,151. The journal Annals of Surgery published 40 of the T100 articles, with 15,847 citations and an average citation count of 396. Among the T100 articles, the citation frequency following the year of publication showed a parabolic trend, with citations peaking in the 9th year following publication. CONCLUSION Our study identified and analyzed the T100 articles in PD surgery. The USA was the dominant country regarding articles, researchers, and institutions. The citations of the articles peaked in the 9th year after publication.

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
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to evaluate the rates of treatment for post-operative exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) and diabetes mellites (DM) between Duodenal Preserving Pancreatic Head Resections (DPPHR) and Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) from a prospectively maintained database of patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS 104 patients were identified for inclusion, 62 of whom underwent DPPHR and 42 underwent PD. Study endpoints included changes in treatment for EPI and DM. RESULTS In the DPPHR group, the vast majority (n = 55) received a Frey procedure, with a small minority of patients undergoing a Beger procedure (n = 4) or Berne modification (n = 3). Patients in the DPPHR group had a lower rate of new persistent treatment for EPI post-operatively compared to patients who underwent PD (28.0% vs. 76.5%, p = 0.002). There was no difference in the rate of new onset DM, with low rates of new insulin dependent diabetics in both groups. Both groups had equal efficacy in terms of pain control, with 67.7% of the DPPHR group and 61.9% of the PD group remaining opioid free at long-term follow-up (p = 0.539). CONCLUSION In patients with head-predominant chronic pancreatitis, DPPHR was associated with reduced rates of new EPI treatment and similar endocrine function compared with PD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Pain is the foremost complication to chronic pancreatitis (CP), but no validated questionnaires for assessment exist. The COMPAT questionnaire includes all relevant pain dimensions in CP, but a short form is needed to make it usable in clinical practice. METHODS The full COMPAT questionnaire was completed by 91 patients and systematically reduced to 6 questions. Pain severity and analgesic use were merged, leaving 5 pain dimensions. The pain dimension ratings were normalized to a 0-100 scale, and the weighted total score was calculated, where 3 dimensions were weighted double. Reliability of the short form was tested in a test-retest study in 76 patients, and concurrent validity tested against the Brief Pain Inventory and Izbicki pain questionnaire. Convergent validity was verified using confirmatory factor analysis, and criterion validity tested against quality-of-life and hospitalization rates. RESULTS The COMPAT-SF questionnaire consisted of the following pain dimensions: a) pain severity, b) pain pattern, c) factors provoking pain, d) widespread pain, and e) a qualitative pain-describing dimension. Quality of life correlated with the total score and all pain dimensions (P <.05). The total score, pain severity, pain pattern, and factors provoking pain were correlated with hospitalization rates (P <.05). The total score correlated with the Izbicki and Brief Pain Inventory scores (P <.0001). The reliability of the questionnaire in patients in a stable phase was good with an interclass correlation coefficient of 0.89. CONCLUSION The COMPAT-SF questionnaire includes the most relevant aspects of pain in CP and is a feasible, reliable, and valid pain assessment instrument recommended to be used in future trials.

Abstract
BackgroundSurgery is an effective choice for the treatment of chronic pancreatitis (CP). However, there is no clear consensus regarding the best choice among the surgical procedures. The aim of this study is to conduct a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing treatment outcomes to provide high-quality evidences regarding which is the best surgery for CP.MethodsA systematic search of the PubMed (MEDLINE), SCIE, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and CDSR databases were performed to identify studies comparing surgeries for CP from the beginning of the databases to May 2020. Pain relief and mortality were the primary outcomes of interest.ResultsTen studies including a total of 680 patients were identified for inclusion. PPPD had a better postoperative short-term pain relief and quality of life (QOL), but a worse pancreatic exocrine function deficiency and high morbidity. Berne had a significant postoperative long-term pain relief and mortality with a lower risk of pancreatic exocrine function deficiency.ConclusionThe main surgical procedures including the PPPD, Beger procedure, Frey modification and Berne modification can efficaciously treat CP. The Berne modification may be first choice with better efficacy and less complications in pancreatic function, but the impact of postoperative QOL cannot be ignored. Furthermore, when the CP patients have a mass in the pancreatic head which cannot be distinguished from pancreatic cancer, the only legitimate choice should be PPPD or classical pancreaticoduodenectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) often leads to recurrent pain as well as exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. This study aimed to investigate the effect of pancreatic head resections on glucose metabolism in patients with CP. METHODS Patients who underwent pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD), Whipple procedure (cPD), or duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) for CP between January 2011 and December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed with regard to markers of pancreatic endocrine function including steady-state beta cell function (%B), insulin resistance (IR), and insulin sensitivity (%S) according to the updated Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA2). RESULTS Out of 141 pancreatic resections for CP, 43 cases including 31 PPPD, 2 cPD and 10 DPPHR, met the inclusion criteria. Preoperatively, six patients (14%) were normoglycemic (NG), 10 patients (23.2%) had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 27 patients (62.8%) had diabetes mellitus (DM). In each subgroup, no significant changes were observed for HOMA2-%B (NG: p = 0.57; IGT: p = 0.38; DM: p = 0.1), HOMA2-IR (NG: p = 0.41; IGT: p = 0.61; DM: p = 0.18) or HOMA2-%S (NG: p = 0.44; IGT: p = 0.52; DM: p = 0.51) 3 and 12 months after surgery, respectively. CONCLUSION Pancreatic head resections for CP, including DPPHR and pancreatoduodenectomies, do not significantly affect glucose metabolism within a follow-up period of 12 months.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES For benign pancreatic duct strictures/obstructions (BPDS/O), endoscopic ultrasonography-guided pancreatic drainage (EUS-PD) is performed when endoscopic transpapillary pancreatic drainage (ETPD) fails. We clarified the clinical outcomes for patients with BPDS/O who underwent endoscopic interventions through the era where EUS-PD was available. METHODS Forty-five patients with BPDS/O who underwent ETPD/EUS-PD were included. We retrospectively investigated overall technical and clinical success rates for endoscopic interventions, adverse events, and clinical outcomes after successful endoscopic interventions. RESULTS The technical success rates for ETPD and EUS-PD were 77% (35/45) and 80% (8/10), respectively, and the overall technical success rate using two drainage procedures was 91% (41/45). Among the 41 patients who underwent successful endoscopic procedures, the clinical success rates were 97% for the symptomatic patients (35/36). The rates of procedure-related pancreatitis after ETPD and EUS-PD were 13% and 30%, respectively. After successful endoscopic interventions, the cumulative 3-year rate of developing recurrent symptoms/pancreatitis was calculated to be 27%, and only two patients finally needed surgery. Continuous smoking after endoscopic interventions was shown to be a risk factor for developing recurrent symptoms/pancreatitis. CONCLUSIONS By adding EUS-PD to ETPD, the technical success rate for endoscopic interventions for BPDS/O was more than 90%, and the clinical success rate was nearly 100%. Due to the low rate of surgery after endoscopic interventions, including EUS-PD, for patients with BPDS/O, EUS-PD may contribute to their good clinical courses as a salvage treatment for refractory BPDS/O.

Abstract
An inflammatory process involving the pancreas, known as pancreatitis, can be categorized as either acute or chronic and may present in one of many ways. The clinical manifestations of acute pancreatitis are generally limited to epigastric or right upper quadrant pain, while manifestations of chronic pancreatitis are broader and may include abdominal pain in tandem with signs and symptoms of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine insufficiency. An understanding of the initial insult, proper classification, and prognosis are all factors that are of paramount importance as it pertains to managing patients who are afflicted with this disease. Our review delves into the depths of pancreatitis by exploring the embryology and anatomy of the pancreas, the pathophysiology and etiology of acute and chronic pancreatitis, and the medical and surgical management of acute and chronic pancreatitis.

Abstract
Background: Although alcohol is the most common cause for chronic pancreatitis worldwide, idiopathic type is prevalent in India. Natural history and disease progression are different between these two groups. There is paucity of data comparing surgical outcome and quality of life in these patients. Aim: To evaluate clinical features, surgical outcome and quality of life between these two groups of patients. Method: All patients with chronic pancreatitis who underwent surgery were prospectively reviewed. Results: From 98 patients, 42 were alcoholic. Number of male and the mean age at the time of operation was significantly more in alcoholic patients. Smoking, preoperative hospital admission rate and the prevalence of local complications like inflammatory pancreatic head mass, biliary stricture and left sided portal hypertension were distinctly more common in alcoholic group. Frey procedure was required more commonly in alcoholic group. Mean postoperative hospital stay and overall postoperative complication rate were comparable between the two groups. Over a median follow up of 18 months there was significant improvement in quality of life and pain score in both the groups. Improvement of physical functioning score at follow-up was significantly more in alcoholic group but the requirement for analgesic medications were significantly more in alcoholic group. However, appetite loss was more perceived by non-alcoholic group. Conclusion: Alcoholic chronic pancreatitis presents with more local complications associated with chronic pancreatitis. Frey procedure is a safe and well accepted surgery in this group. Though they required more analgesic requirement in short term follow up, other aspects of quality of life are similar to non-alcoholic group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pain in chronic pancreatitis is subdivided in a continuous or intermittent pattern, each thought to represent a different entity, requiring specific treatment. Because evidence is missing, we studied pain patterns in a prospective longitudinal nationwide study. DESIGN 1131 patients with chronic pancreatitis (fulfilling M-ANNHEIM criteria) were included between 2011 and 2018 in 30 Dutch hospitals. Patients with continuous or intermittent pain were compared for demographics, pain characteristics, quality of life (Short-Form 36), imaging findings, disease duration and treatment. Alternation of pain pattern and associated variables were longitudinally assessed using a multivariable multinomial logistic regression model. RESULTS At inclusion, 589 patients (52%) had continuous pain, 231 patients (20%) had intermittent pain and 311 patients (28%) had no pain. Patients with continuous pain had more severe pain, used more opioids and neuropathic pain medication, and had a lower quality of life. There were no differences between pain patterns for morphological findings on imaging, disease duration and treatment. During a median follow-up of 47 months, 552 of 905 patients (61%) alternated at least once between pain patterns. All alternations were associated with the Visual Analogue Scale pain intensity score and surgery was only associated with the change from pain to no pain. CONCLUSION Continuous and intermittent pain patterns in chronic pancreatitis do not seem to be the result of distinctly different pathophysiological entities. The subjectively reported character of pain is not related to imaging findings or disease duration. Pain patterns often change over time and are merely a feature of how severity of pain is experienced.

Morphologic Factors Predict Pain Relief Following Pancreatic Head Resection in Chronic Pancreatitis Description of the Chronic Pancreatitis Pain Relief (CPPR) Score. Ann Surg 2021; 273:800-805. [PMID: 31348039 DOI: 10.1097/sla.0000000000003439] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study analyzes the clinicopathologic findings and their impact on outcome of patients so as to identify which patients benefit most from surgical treatment in chronic pancreatitis, especially in regard to pain relief. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA The predominant symptom of chronic pancreatitis is chronic pain resulting in reduced quality of life. It is well known that the main reason for development of the disease is abuse of alcohol and nicotine, but only little data on factors influencing outcome are available. METHODS One thousand one hundred forty-six consecutive patients who underwent surgery for chronic pancreatitis were included. Clinicopathologic data, including morphology of the pancreas in preoperative diagnostics and the histopathologic results, were evaluated. A long-term follow-up including Quality of Life and pain scores was performed. Additionally, we describe the novel Chronic Pancreatitis Pain Relief Score (CPPR-Score) as a tool for prediction of pain relief. RESULTS Overall the rate of pain relief was 79.8% after surgery. The presence of an inflammatory mass in the pancreatic head larger than 4 cm (P < 0.001), presence of a dilated main pancreatic duct of over 4 mm (P < 0.001), histopathologically detected severe calcifications (P = 0.001) and severe fibrosis (P < 0.001) as well as ethanol induced disease (P < 0.001) found to be strong independent prognostic factors for pain relief. The CPPR-Score (0-5 points) proved to be a very good predictive score for pain-relief (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The rate of pain relief after surgical treatment in chronic pancreatitis is high and the commonly used procedures can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. The Chronic Pancreatitis Pain Relief Score allows identifying patients who will benefit most from surgery.

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
BACKGROUND The surgical operation associated with improved pain and quality of life (QoL) in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) is unknown. METHOD The Scopus, EMBASE, Medline and Cochrane databases were systematically searched until May 2019, and all randomised trials (RCTs) comparing surgical operations for CP pain were included in a network meta-analysis (NMA). RESULTS Four surgical operations for treating CP were directly compared in eight RCTs including 597 patients. Patients were mainly male (79%, 474/597) with alcoholic CP (85%, 382/452). Surgical operations included were pancreatoduodenectomy (224, 38%), Berne procedure (168, 28%), Beger procedure (133, 22%) and Frey procedure (72, 12%). The NMA revealed that the Beger procedure ranked best for pain relief, whilst the Frey procedure ranked best for postoperative QoL, postoperative pancreatic fistula rate and postoperative exocrine insufficiency rate during a median follow-up of 26 months (reported range 6-58 months). Overall the Frey procedure ranked best for the combination of primary outcome measures based on surface under cumulative ranking curve scores. CONCLUSIONS Overall the Frey procedure may perform the best for both pain relief and postoperative QoL in patients with CP. Further trials are warranted in defining the role of surgery in relation to endotherapy.

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
BACKGROUND Advances in our understanding of total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) have been made. We aimed to define indications and outcomes of TPIAT. METHODS Expert physician-scientists from North America, Asia, and Europe reviewed the literature to address six questions selected by the writing group as high priority topics. A consensus was reached by voting on statements generated from the review. RESULTS Consensus statements were voted upon with strong agreement reached that (Q1) TPIAT may improve quality of life, reduce pain and opioid use, and potentially reduce medical utilization; that (Q3) TPIAT offers glycemic benefit over TP alone; that (Q4) the main indication for TPIAT is disabling pain, in the absence of certain medical and psychological contraindications; and that (Q6) islet mass transplanted and other disease features may impact diabetes mellitus outcomes. Conditional agreement was reached that (Q2) the role of TPIAT for all forms of CP is not yet identified and that head-to-head comparative studies are lacking, and that (Q5) early surgery is likely to improve outcomes as compared to late surgery. CONCLUSIONS Agreement on TPIAT indications and outcomes has been reached through this working group. Further studies are needed to answer the long-term outcomes and maximize efforts to optimize patient selection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a complex inflammatory disease with pain as the predominant symptom. Pain relief can be achieved using invasive interventions such as endoscopy and surgery. This paper is part of the international consensus guidelines on CP and presents the consensus guideline for surgery and timing of intervention in CP. METHODS An international working group with 15 experts on CP surgery from the major pancreas societies (IAP, APA, JPS, and EPC) evaluated 20 statements generated from evidence on 5 questions deemed to be the most clinically relevant in CP. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach was used to evaluate the level of evidence available for each statement. To determine the level of agreement, the working group voted on the 20 statements for strength of agreement, using a nine-point Likert scale in order to calculate Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient. RESULTS Strong consensus was obtained for the following statements: Surgery in CP is indicated as treatment of intractable pain and local complications of adjacent organs, and in case of suspicion of malignant (cystic) lesion; Early surgery is favored over surgery in a more advanced stage of disease to achieve optimal long-term pain relief; In patients with an enlarged pancreatic head, a combined drainage and resection procedure, such as the Frey, Beger, and Berne procedure, may be the treatment of choice; Pancreaticoduodenectomy is the most suitable surgical option for patients with groove pancreatitis; The risk of pancreatic carcinoma in patients with CP is too low (2% in 10 year) to recommend active screening or prophylactic surgery; Patients with hereditary CP have such a high risk of pancreatic cancer that prophylactic resection can be considered (lifetime risk of 40-55%). Weak agreement for procedure choice in patients with dilated duct and normal size pancreatic head: both the extended lateral pancreaticojejunostomy and Frey procedure seems to provide equivalent pain control in patients. CONCLUSIONS This international expert consensus guideline provides evidenced-based statements concerning key aspects in surgery and timing of intervention in CP. It is meant to guide clinical practitioners and surgeons in the treatment of patients with CP.

Long-term results of resection of the head of the pancreas due to chronic pancreatitis: Pancreaticoduodenectomy or duodenum-preserving cephalic pancreatectomy? Cir Esp 2019; 98:267-273. [PMID: 31848016 DOI: 10.1016/j.ciresp.2019.10.009] [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: 05/06/2019] [Revised: 10/12/2019] [Accepted: 10/28/2019] [Indexed: 10/25/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic pain in chronic pancreatitis is difficult to manage. The objective of our study is to assess the control of pain that is refractory to medical treatment in patients with an inflammatory mass in the head of the pancreas, as well as to compare the two surgical techniques. METHODS A retrospective study included patients treated surgically between 1989 and 2011 who had been refractory to medical treatment with inflammation of the head of the pancreas. An analysis of the short and long-term results was done to compare patients who had undergone pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) and/or resection of the head of the pancreas with duodenal preservation (RHPDP). RESULTS 22 PD and 12 RHPDP were performed. Postoperative complications were observed in 14% of patients, the most frequent being delayed gastric emptying (14.7%) and pancreatic fistula (11.7%). No statistically significant differences were found in terms of surgical technique. Pain control was satisfactory in 85% of patients, 43% presented de novo diabetes mellitus, and 88% returned to their work activities. Fourteen patients died during follow-up, 7 due to malignancies, and some were related to tobacco use and alcohol consumption. The overall 5 and 10 year survival rates were 88% and 75% respectively. CONCLUSION Cephalic resection in patients with intractable pain in chronic pancreatitis is an effective therapy that provides good long-term results in terms of pain control, with no significant differences between the two surgical techniques. Patients with chronic pancreatitis have a high mortality rate associated with de novo malignancies.

Abstract
Backgrounds/Aims Abdominal drains are routinely placed following Frey procedure for chronic pancreatitis (CP) despite the low incidence of pancreatic fistula (PF). The utility of the first postoperative day (POD1) drain fluid amylase (DFA) value in predicting PF in CP patients undergoing Frey procedure has not been previously reported. Methods A prospective study of patients with CP who underwent Frey procedure between August 2014 and April 2018. A standard technique of head coring with single layer continuous pancreatojejunostomy was done in all the patients. Amylase level of the drain placed close to the pancreatojejunostomy was recorded on POD1 and 3. Postoperative PF was defined and graded as per the updated International Study Group of Pancreatic Fistula (ISGPF) guidelines. Results Fifty-five patients with CP who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. All had normal preoperative serum amylase level. Three patients developed a biochemical leak and four patients developed postoperative PF (Grade B - 3 and Grade C - 1). Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve identified a POD1 DFA cut-off value of 326 U/L that predicted a postoperative PF with sensitivity, specificity and negative predictive value of 100%, 70%, and 100% respectively. Conclusions The POD1 DFA is a reliable predictor of postoperative PF in CP patients who have undergone Frey procedure. The PF can be confidently excluded in patients who have a POD1 DFA less than 326 U/L.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive and persistent inflammatory disease resulting in pancreatic insufficiency leading to diabetes and steatorrhea. Abdominal pain is the most debilitating feature and is often refractory to treatment. Medical management with adequate analgesia and replacement of pancreatic enzyme supplements is the first line in management of chronic pancreatitis. Surgery is reserved for those who fail medical management. The choice of surgical procedure and timing of surgery is a topic of debate. The objective of this study was to analyze surgical safety along with short- and long- term outcomes of Frey's procedure for patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis. METHODS This was a retrospective review of cases of chronic pancreatitis who underwent Frey's procedure from 2016 January to 2019 February at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Demographics, intraoperative findings, perioperative outcomes, and short- and long-time outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS Total of 26 patients (age ranged 17-52, male - 14) underwent Frey's procedure in the study period. Alcohol was etiology in six patients while the majority (76.9%) were nonalcoholic. Half of the patients had tropical pancreatitis. Intractable pain was present in all cases along with pseudocyst in three and pseudoaneurysm in one case. The mean preoperative Izbicki scores were 53.4 ± 17.6. Six patients had diabetes and two patients had steatorrhea. Major complications were seen in 11.5% of cases while mortality was in one patient. The median duration of the hospital stay was seven days. Over a median follow up of 17 months (range, 3-38), there were significantly lower pain scores postoperatively and 92% were pain-free. Only one new case of diabetes developed postoperatively. CONCLUSION Our early experiences suggests that Frey's procedure can be a safe option for patients with chronic pancreatitis, with acceptable perioperative morbidity with adequate pain relief without worsening of pancreatic endocrine and exocrine function.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis is a chronic inflammation of the pancreas with pain as its severest symptom and often an impaired quality of life. Surgical intervention plays an important role in the management of pain but is generally kept as a last resort when conservative measures and endoscopy have failed. However, in the last few years multiple studies suggested the superiority of (early) surgical treatment in chronic pancreatitis for multiple end points, including pain relief. In this paper we highlight the most recent high-quality evidence on surgical therapy in chronic pancreatitis and the rationale for early (surgical) intervention.

Abstract
AIM To assess the use of ERAS in laparoscopic Frey procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS From August 2012 to November 2017 laparoscopic Frey procedure were performed in 35 patients. Fully laparoscopic were performed 31 (88.5%) procedures. We use fast-track protocol from 13 patients. We included from statistic analyses patients where procedure was changed or was conversion or was simultaneous procedure. The total number of patients analyzed was 27. The patients were divided into two groups: I - before the fast-track protocol (n=11), II - after the protocol implementation (n=16). RESULTS The operating time was 460 (365-530) minutes in I group and 420 (295-540) minutes in II group. Blood loss was 150 (5-300) and 150 (40-700) ml. The median postoperative stay period was 10 (5-25) days and 6.5 (3-11) days (p=0.007). CONCLUSION The combination of laparoscopic technologies and fast-track protocol reduces the duration of the postoperative stay period.

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
This article describes the latest diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations in chronic pancreatitis, developed by the Working Group of the Polish Society of Gastroenterology and the Polish Pancreas Club. The recommendations refer to the diagnosis of chronic pancreatitis, autoimmune pancreatitis, conservative management, treatment of pain, and exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency, treatment of chronic pancreatitis by endoscopic and surgical methods, and oncological surveillance of chronic pancreatitis. This paper refers to the Polish recommendations published in 2011, which have been updated and supplemented. All recommendations were voted by experts of the Polish Society of Gastroenterology and the Polish Pancreas Club, who evaluated them each time on a five-degree scale, where I meant full acceptance, II – acceptance with some reservation, III – acceptance with serious reservation, IV – rejection with some reservation and V – full rejection. The results of the voting, together with a brief commentary, have been included with each recommendation put to the vote. In addition, the expert group assessed the value of clinical studies on which the statements are based, on a scale where A means high (based on meta-analyses and randomised clinical trials), B means medium (based on clinical trials and observational studies), and C means low (based mainly on expert opinion).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a debilitating condition resulting in severe pain with progressive deterioration of pancreatic function. "Tropical" pancreatitis represents a variant of the disease with widely dilated ducts, numerous calculi, and few strictures. Traditionally, modified Puestow's procedure has been the treatment of choice for a dilated pancreatic ductal system. However, it has only recently been adapted to laparoscopic approach which is a technically demanding procedure primarily due to need for extensive intra-corporeal suturing. METHODS Symptomatic cases of CP presenting at our center with minimum 8 mm mean ductal diameter at body and head were selected for laparoscopic modified Puestow's procedure. Those with prior pancreatic surgery, pancreatic head masses, endoscopic pancreatic stenting, and portal hypertension were excluded. Twenty-eight cases meeting selection criteria underwent a laparoscopic procedure. RESULTS Seven patients (25%) underwent a stapled pancreaticojejunal anastomosis, 17 (60.7%) received a sutured anastomosis. Four patients (14.3%) were converted to open surgery due to failure to localize the pancreatic duct with percutaneous needle aspiration. Of those patients who underwent a successful laparoscopic procedure, a single patient developed a pancreatic fistula which resolved spontaneously; another patient had a difficult post-operative course with prolonged intensive care. We suffered no mortality within the series and no patient had any long-term disability. Anastomotic patency rates of 100% were achieved by the third post-operative month. CONCLUSION Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy is an effective surgical management for CP with a dilated ductal system. Its laparoscopic adoption is the rational next surgical step. It allows effective duct decompression with low mortality and morbidity. The procedure demands an advanced surgical skill set with an emphasis on intra-corporeal suturing. Those patients suffering from tropical CP with wide ductal dilatation greater than 12 mm are suited to an endostapled anastomosis which helps significantly reduce operative time without any corrosion of outcomes.

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 analyze the features and efficacy of laparoscopic Frey procedure. MATERIAL AND METHODS For the period from August 2012 to May 2017 Frey procedure was carried out in 31 patients with chronic calculous pancreatitis Buchler type C. There were 20 men and 11 women aged 48.6±9 years. Mean pancreatic head dimension was 35.5±14 mm, diameter of the main pancreatic duct - 9.6±2.7 mm. RESULTS Completely laparoscopic procedure was made in 28 (90.3%) cases. One patient required intraoperatively Beger's technique without conversion. The last was need in 2 (6.5%) cases. Time of surgery and blood loss were 447.3±90.4 min and 215±177.7 ml respectively. Mean postoperative hospital-stay was 8.4±4.5 days. Postoperative complications occurred in 7 patients. Mortality was absent. Follow-up was 1-41 months. Recurrent pain syndrome was observed in 1 case. However, it was less severe and does not require analgesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND If conservative treatment of chronic pancreatitis is unsuccessful, surgery is an option. The choice of the most suitable surgical method can be difficult, as the indications, advantages, and disadvantages of the available methods have not yet been fully documented with scientific evidence. METHODS In April 2015, we carried out a temporally unlimited systematic search for publications on surgery for chronic pancreatitis. The target parameters were morbidity, mortality, pain, endocrine and exocrine insuffi - ciency, weight gain, quality of life, length of hospital stay, and duration of urgery. Differences between surgical methods were studied with network meta-analysis, and duodenum-preserving operations were compared with partial duodenopancreatectomy with standard meta-analysis. RESULTS Among the 326 articles initially identified, 8 randomized controlled trials on a total of 423 patients were included in the meta-analysis. The trials were markedly heterogeneous in some respects. There was no significant difference among surgical methods with respect to perioperative morbidity, pain, endocrine and exocrine insufficiency, or quality of life. Duodenumpreserving procedures, compared to duodenopancreatectomy, were associated with a long-term weight gain that was 3 kg higher (p <0.001; three trials), a mean length of hospital stay that was 3 days shorter (p = 0.009; six trials), and a duration of surgery that was 2 hours shorter (p <0.001; five trials). CONCLUSION Duodenum-preserving surgery for chronic pancreatitis is superior to partial duodenopancreatectomy in multiple respects. Only limited recommendations can be given, however, on the basis of present data. The question of the best surgical method for the individual patient, in view of the clinical manifestations, anatomy, and diagnostic criteria, remains open.

Abstract
Chronic pancreatitis and incidentally discovered pancreatic lesions present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for surgeons. While both decompressive and resection procedures have been described for treatment of chronic pancreatitis, optimal management must be tailored to each patient's individual disease characteristics, parenchymal morphology, and ductal anatomy. Surgeons should strive to achieve long-lasting pain relief while preserving native pancreatic function. For patients with incidentally discovered pancreatic lesions, differentiating benign, pre-malignant, and malignant lesions is critical as earlier treatment is thought to result in improved survival. The purpose of this evidence-based manuscript is to review the presentation, workup, surgical management, and associated outcomes for patients with chronic pancreatitis or incidentally discovered solid and cystic lesions of the pancreas.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is substantial uncertainty regarding the optimal surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis. Short-term outcomes have been found to be better after duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) than after partial pancreatoduodenectomy. Therefore, we designed the multicentre ChroPac trial to investigate the long-term outcomes of patients with chronic pancreatitis within 24 months after surgery. METHODS This randomised, controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, superiority trial was done in 18 hospitals across Europe. Patients with chronic pancreatitis who were planned for elective surgical treatment were randomly assigned to DPPHR or partial pancreatoduodenectomy with a central web-based randomisation tool. The primary endpoint was mean quality of life within 24 months after surgery, measured with the physical functioning scale of the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 questionnaire. Primary analysis included all patients who underwent one of the assigned procedures; safety analysis included all patients who underwent surgical intervention (categorised into groups as treated). Patients and outcome assessors were masked to group assignment. The trial was registered, ISRCTN38973832. Recruitment was completed on Sept 3, 2013. FINDINGS Between Sept 10, 2009, and Sept 3, 2013, 250 patients were randomly assigned to DPPHR (n=125) or partial pancreatoduodenectomy (n=125), of whom 226 patients (115 in the DPPHR group and 111 in the partial pancreatoduodenectomy group) were analysed. No difference in quality of life was seen between the groups within 24 months after surgery (75·3 [SD 16·4] for partial pancreatoduodenectomy vs 73·0 [16·4] for DPPHR; mean difference -2·3, 95% CI -6·6 to 2·0; p=0·284). The incidence and severity of serious adverse events did not differ between the groups. 70 (64%) of 109 patients in the DPPHR group and 61 (52%) of 117 patients in the partial pancreatoduodenectomy group had at least one serious adverse event, with the most common being reoperations (for reasons other than chronic pancreatitis), gastrointestinal problems, and other surgical morbidity. INTERPRETATION No differences in quality of life after surgery for chronic pancreatitis were seen between the interventions. Results from single-centre trials showing superiority for DPPHR were not confirmed in the multicentre setting. FUNDING German Research Foundation (DFG).

Abstract
Pancreatic pain is the most frequent symptom of chronic pancreatitis (CP) and is difficult to treat. This retrospective study aimed to determine the risk factors for pain in CP.From January 2009 and March 2014, 75 consecutive patients with CP who underwent Frey's procedure were reviewed for this study. According to Izbicki pain scores, these patients were divided into 2 groups: (1) pain (Izbicki pain score of >10 after a decrease of >50%) and (2) pain-free (Izbicki pain score of ≤10). Demographic data, medical history, postoperative variables, and follow-up evaluations of the patients were documented.The postoperative pain score (11.8) was significantly lower than the preoperative score (51.8) after a median follow-up of 4.2 years. Alcoholism (odds ratio [OR] 7.767, P = .002) and preoperative analgesic medication use (OR 4.113, P = .030) were independent risk factors for pain.Frey's procedure is an effective operation for pain relief in patients with CP. Alcoholism and preoperative analgesic medication use were 2 factors for failure to achieve complete pain relief.
