RESUMO

INTRODUCTION AND AIM: Chronic pancreatitis is a pathologic fibroinflammatory syndrome of the pancreas. Treatment includes medical management and endoscopic and/or surgical interventions. Our aim was to describe progression in patients with chronic pancreatitis whose initial management was either endoscopic or surgical. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A retrospective, analytic, observational, and longitudinal study was conducted that included patients diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis treated at the Hospital de Especialidades of the Centro Médico Nacional Siglo XXI from 2015 to 2021. RESULTS: Twenty-two patients were included in the study; 12 underwent endoscopy and 10 underwent surgery. The mean number of interventions performed was 3 in the endoscopic management group and 1.1 in the surgical management group (p = 0.001). Regarding pain remission (partial or total), results were statistically significant in favor of surgical management (p = 0.035). Of the 12 patients that initially underwent endoscopy, 7 (58.3%) eventually required surgery during follow-up. There were no statistically significant differences with respect to opioid and pancreatin use, readmissions, weight loss, steatorrhea, newly diagnosed diabetes, or deaths during follow-up. CONCLUSION: Pain is the main indication for invasive treatment, whether endoscopic or surgical, in patients with chronic pancreatitis. Slightly more than half of the patients that were initially managed endoscopically required surgery during follow-up. Management decisions should be multidisciplinary and individualized for each patient.
