Background: Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating disease presenting with pain, diabetes and steatorrhoea. Surgery offers better long-term pain relief than other interventions, but there is still uncertainty about the optimal surgical procedure and approach and a lack of long-term follow-up data in patients with chronic calcific pancreatitis selected for laparoscopic surgical treatment.
Methods: This was an observational cohort study of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for chronic calcific pancreatitis between January 2006 and April 2017, and had completed a minimum follow-up of 1 year at a tertiary-care teaching institute.
