Harika, Vikas

Abstract :

 AIM:

To compare the results of exocrine and endocrine functions in patients before and after LPJ.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

The study includes patients with chronic pancreatitis(CP) attending to osmania general hospital and undergoing LPJ during the period of 2011–2013.

RESULTS :

Out of 25 patients,18 were diabetic and 16 still remained diabetic even after surgery. This shows there is no significant improvement in endocrine function postoperatively.19 were having steatorrhea pre operatively out of which 5 patients became free of it after surgery showing a significant improvement in exocrine function.

CONCLUSION:

As the procedure does not alter the ongoing process the long term results may not show much of variation in the parameters of functional status explaining the complex nature of the disease.
