Title: Surgical treatment of chronic pancreatitis with an inflammatory pancreatic head mass: a
retrospective study
Version: 1 Date: 29 Apr 2024
Reviewer's report:
Comments and questions:
The manuscript deals with a relevant question, namely the importance of early surgery for
patients suffering from chronic pancreatitis. The study is well-done.
1. Why the authors prefered the Beger procedure, instead of the Berne modification? The latter
is shorter, easier to perform, and is associated with the same outcomes.
2. Did recurrent cholestasis occur after the DPPHR-s?
3. How the authors select the patients for Beger or Frey procedure?
4. What was the surgical solution of the cholestasis during DPPHR?
5. What was the reason for the relaparotomies?
6. The ratio of the CR-POPF was relatively high in this series. What can be the reason of it?
At chronic pancreatitis, the fibrotic parenchyma makes the anastomosis safer, than in case of
soft pancreas.
7. Do the authors have late follow-up data of the early part of the series, for example from the
period of 2014-2018?
