Abstract
Odisha is one of the capitals of Chronic Pancreatitis in India. The cause of chronic pancreatitis ranges from alcohol, smoking, hypercalcemia, idiopathic to autoimmune. Most of the patients with pancreatic calculi are males, alcoholic, diabetic, malnutrition with severe pain. CECT is the diagnostic investigation of choice. In the properly selected patient, operative management of pain due to chronic pancreatitis with calculi can be quite effective. Drainage procedure is the preferred surgery. In this study Frey’s verses Partington-Rolchelle procedure was compared in terms of mortality, morbidity and functional outcome in both the procedures.
