Freys procedure for chronic pancreatitis: a 10-year single-center experience in Korea

摘要

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is progressive inflammatory disease that leads to irreversible destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma. The main indications for surgical intervention in cases involving CP are intractable pain, suspicion of malignancy, and failure of other methods. However, there is no report related to Frey's procedure in Korea; hence, we aimed to investigate and analyze our institution's experience and determine the benefits of surgical treatment for CP.
