PurposeTo evaluate the efficacy of the Frey procedure and clarify the relationship between preoperative characteristics and the histological severity of chronic pancreatitis (CP).MethodsThirty patients who underwent the Frey procedure for CP between January, 2002 and December, 2020, at our hospital, were enrolled in this study. The specimen cored out of the pancreatic head was assessed for CP severity. We evaluated preoperative status and surgical outcomes according to CP severity.ResultsLong-term pain relief was achieved in all 26 patients with sustained long-term follow-up, with complete pain relief attained in 19 (63%). Albumin levels were significantly higher 1 year postoperatively than preoperatively (p= 0.038). Histological fibrosis was assessed in the 26 patients as follows: normal (n= 4; 15%), mild (n= 8; 31%), moderate (n= 2; 8%), and severe (n= 12; 46%). These patients were divided into two groups according to the severity of fibrosis: normal/mild (n= 12) and moderate/severe (n= 14). The rates of diffuse calcification on preoperative computed tomography (CT) (71% vs. 17%,p= 0.008) and islet atrophy on insulin immunohistochemistry (100% vs. 33%,p< 0.001) were significantly higher in the moderate/severe group than in the normal/mild group.ConclusionThe Frey procedure can achieve good pain relief and improve nutritional status. The severity of fibrosis can be predicted based on the extent of calcification on preoperative imaging studies.
