Abstract :

Introduction: Surgery for chronic pancreatitis involves ductal clearance, identification of cystic lesion and mass lesion. Intra operative ultrasonogram (IOUS) is useful in surgery for chronic pancreatitis. Aim: To analyze and assess the impact IOUS in drainage surgery for chronic pancreatitis.Methods: IOUS was performed in patients with chronic pancreatitis(GpI) compared with control group wit out IOUS (Gp II) which were similar . The outcome measures were analyzed and compared. Stastical analysis: SPSS 14 version was used, student t test, chi square test, Fiser exact probability test were used appropriate. P value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: IOUS proved beneficial in identifying intra ductal calculi, undrained cyst , identification of pseudoaneursym, mass lesion and to do IOUS guided FNAC i. Conclusion: Clearance of ductal calculi, drainage of cyst was more complete with IOUS (Gp I) and found to be useful in patients undergoing drainage surgery for chronic pancreatitis.
