AIM: To share our experience regarding the laparoscopic Frey procedure for @entity1689 ( @entity1689 ) and @entity1 selection. METHODS: All consecutive @entity1 undergoing duodenum-preserving pancreatic head resection from July 2013 to July 2014 were reviewed and those undergoing the Frey procedure for @entity1689 were included in this study. Data on age, gender, body mass index (BMI), American Society of Anesthesiologists score, imaging findings, inflammatory index (white blood cells, @entity650 , and C-reaction protein), visual analogue score score during hospitalization and outpatient visit, history of @entity1689 , operative time, estimated @entity190 , and postoperative data (postoperative mortality and morbidity, postoperative length of hospital stay) were obtained for @entity1 undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The open surgery cases in this study were analyzed for risk factors related to extensive @entity548 , which was the major reason for conversion during the laparoscopic procedure. Age, gender, etiology, imaging findings, amylase level, complications due to @entity788 , functional insufficiency, and history of @entity1689 were assessed in these @entity1 . RESULTS: Nine laparoscopic and 37 open Frey procedures were analyzed. Of the 46 @entity1 , 39 were male (85%) and seven were female (16%). The etiology of @entity1689 was alcohol in 32 @entity1 (70%) and idiopathic in 14 @entity1 (30%). Stones were found in 38 @entity1 (83%). An inflammatory mass was found in five @entity1 (11%). The time from diagnosis of @entity1689 to the Frey procedure was 39    19 (9-85) mo. The BMI of @entity1 in the laparoscopic group was 20.4    1.7 (17.8-22.4) kg/m(2) and was 20.6    2.9 (15.4-27.7) kg/m(2) in the open group. All @entity1 required analgesic medication for @entity490 . Frequent acute @entity788 or severe @entity490 due to acute exacerbation occurred in 20 @entity1 (43%). @entity532 due to @entity788 were observed in 18 @entity1 (39%). @entity3210 was observed in 14 @entity1 (30%). Two laparoscopic @entity1 (2/9) were converted. In seven successful laparoscopic cases, the mean operative time was 323    29 (290-370) min. Estimated intra-operative @entity190 was 57    14 (40-80) mL. One @entity1 had a @entity260 , and no mortality was observed. Postoperative hospital stay was 7    2 (5-11) d. Multiple linear regression analysis of 37 open Frey procedures showed that an inflammatory mass (P < 0.001) and acute exacerbation (P < 0.001) were risk factors for intra-operative @entity190 . CONCLUSION: The laparoscopic Frey procedure for @entity1689 is feasible but only suitable in carefully selected @entity1 .
