Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Aim: To study the results of open longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy at our institute. Material Method: 20 patients with chroniccalcific pancreatitis (CCP) underwent open longitudinal pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) in our institute. Mean age of presentation was 34.55yrs. The most common presenting symptoms were abdominal pain and weight loss. In all patients, diagnosis was confirmed by contrast enhanced computed tomography. Mean pancreatic duct diameter was 10 mm. Results: Mean operating time was 165min, mean blood loss was 100 ml and mean postoperative stay was 8 days. There were no intraoperative and major postoperative complications. On 1 year follow-up out of 20 patients 16 had complete pain relief and 4 patients had partial pain relief and all patients had significant weight gain. Conclusion: Open LPJ is a safe, effective, and feasible technique for CP in chronic calcific pancreatitis patients in the presence of adequately dilated pancreatic duct containing stones, and has favourable outcome in short-term follow-up in tertiary care hospital.
