Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Patients with chronic pancreatitis often require surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the published evidence for Frey procedure in patients with chronic pancreatitis. METHODS: Literature search was undertaken to identify eligible studies until February 2015. Using meta-analytical techniques, Frey procedure was compared with pancreatoduodenectomy or Beger procedure, and the short- and long-term outcomes were analysed. RESULTS: Twenty-three studies comprising a total of 800 patients were reviewed. The postoperative morbidity and mortality were 23.2% and 0.4% respectively. The percentage of postoperative pain-relief patients was 89.4%. New onset of diabetes and exocrine insufficiency was present in 17.3% and 30.7% of patients, respectively. Compared with pancreatoduodenectomy, Frey procedure had favorable outcomes in terms of operation time, blood transfusion, overall morbidity, length of hospital and intensive care unit stay, pancreatic function and quality of life. Compared with Beger procedure, Frey procedure had shorter operation time and lower morbidity. CONCLUSIONS: Frey procedure is a safe and effective surgical procedure for chronic pancreatitis with dilated duct in the absence of neoplasia.
