Dr. Pravinbhingare, Drswapnil Shah

Abstract :

AIM: To study the results of laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy at our institute. Material method: 33 patients with chroniccalcific pancreatitis (CCP) underwent laparoscopic 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 magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography. Mean pancreatic duct diameter was 12 mm. Results: Mean operating time was 180 min, mean blood loss was 90ml and mean postoperative stay was 7 days. There were no intraoperative and major postoperative complications. On 1 yearfollow–up out of 33 patients 29had complete pain relief and 4 patient had partial pain relief and all patients had significant weight gain Conclusion: Laparoscopic LPJ is a safe, effective, andfeasible technique for CP in selected patients in the presence of adequately dilated pancreatic duct containing stones, and has favourable outcome in short–term follow–up
