Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
One hundred thirty-four patients (123 men and 11 women) were operated on for chronic pancreatitis (69 pancreaticojejunostomies, 20 cytopancreaticojejunostomies, 22 left pancreatectomies, and 23 Whipple operations). Half of these patients were followed up for 5 years or more. Four patients died from cancer of the pancreas. The operative mortality rate was 4.2 percent after anastomosis, 13.5 percent after pancreatectomy, and 8.7 percent after a Whipple operation. Relief of pain was the main aim of operation. The rate of good results after pancreaticojejunostomy (85 percent) was higher than after resection (71 percent after right pancreatectomy or Whipple operation and 66.6 percent after left pancreatectomy). The mortality rate after 5 years 26 percent after anastomosis, 30 percent after Whipple operation, and 45 percent after left pancreatectomy. Alcoholic intake did not appear to influence the operative result but improved the quality of life of the patient. Postoperative complications are more common and more serious after resection than after anastomosis. If dilated, the common bile duct must be drained as well as the pancreatic duct after anastomosis. Whenever the pancreatic duct is dilated more than 8 mm it must be drained rather than resected. |
