The paper presents some experience with surgical treatment of 183 patients with complicated forms of chronic pancreatitis. The type of a surgical intervention depended on the pattern of pancreatic morphological changes. Operations of internal drainage of the pancreas in 103 patients with ductal hypertension provide the largest percentage (92.4%) of good and satisfactory results. Resectional methods of surgical treatment for chronic pancreatitis (n = 36) without signs of intraductal hypertension and with the prevalence of predominant lesions in some portions of the gland yield 80% good and satisfactory results. The incidence of postoperative complications following pancreatic resections is higher than those after drainages (16.2 versus 11.6%). The paper gives a concept of combined operations on the pancreas and bile ducts in chronic pancreatitis complicated by stricture of the distal common bile duct, revealed in 24.4% of cases.

Background: Abdominal pain is one of the most prominent symptoms in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) and can manifest intermittently or persistently. The mechanism of pain is not yet clear, and no effective treatment is currently available. This study aimed to explore the risk factors for pain in patients with CP, which may provide new insights for developing effective pain control modalities.

Background: Total pancreatectomy and intraportal islet cell auto transplantation (TPIAT) is increasingly being offered to patients with refractory chronic pancreatitis. Understanding factors that impact islet function over time is critical.
Study Design: We evaluated factors associated with islet function over 12 years post TPIAT using mixed meal tolerance testing (MMTT).
Association between dietary mineral intake and new onset diabetes/pre-diabetes after chronic pancreatitis.

Background And Aims: As the main type of pancreatic diabetes, patients with new diabetes after chronic pancreatitis are often difficult to manage and have poor prognosis. This study aimed to figure out the association between dietary mineral intake and glucose metabolism with chronic pancreatitis.
Method: The study included 114 patients with chronic pancreatitis, who were grouped based on the sequence of onset for chronic pancreatitis and diabetes: normoglycaemia after chronic pancreatitis (NCP), type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and new-onset diabetes or pre-diabetes after chronic pancreatitis (NODCP).

Endocrine dysfunction and diabetes can develop secondary to fibrotic diseases within the pancreas including cystic fibrosis (CF). Phenotypic shift within epithelial cells has been recognised in association with pro-fibrotic signalling. We sought evidence of endocrine cell epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in CF and non-CF pancreas.

Department of Surgery, Amsterdam UMC, location University of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Patients with painful chronic pancreatitis combined with a dilated main pancreatic duct and a normal size pancreatic head are treated according to guidelines by lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ). This systematic review compared outcomes of minimally invasive LPJ and open LPJ.
Methods: From 1 January 2000 until 13 November 2023, series reporting on minimally invasive LPJ and open LPJ in patients with symptomatic chronic pancreatitis were included.
