Chronic Pancreatitis Surgery FAQs

Surgery like the Frey Procedure or Lateral Pancreaticojejunostomy provides 80% long-term pain relief by addressing ductal obstruction and inflammation.

Islet autotransplantation preserves insulin production, with 70% of patients achieving partial or full insulin independence.

Endoscopic drainage is tried first, but large/complex cysts often require pancreatic pseudocyst surgery for definitive treatment.

Pancreatic duct drainage surgery or stone removal improves flow and reduces calcification-related pain.

Most patients resume normal activities in 4–6 weeks. Dr. Ashish George’s Delhi team uses Enhanced Recovery Protocols to minimize hospital stays and accelerate healing.

Patients with end-stage chronic pancreatitis, unresponsive to other treatments, and with sufficient islet cell viability. Dr. George’s team in India conducts thorough pre-op assessments.

Lateral pancreaticojejunostomy preserves insulin production, but TPIAT may require insulin. Dr. George’s expertise in Delhi ensures optimal islet cell survival rates.

Surgery addresses structural issues, but lifestyle changes (alcohol cessation, diet) are vital. Regular follow-ups at our Delhi center help prevent recurrence.
