Abstract

Chronic pancreatitis (CP) and acute recurrent pancreatitis (ARP) in pediatric patients are strongly associated with genetic mutations and lead to pan-parenchymal disease refractory to medical and endoscopic treatment. Our aim was to assess pain resolution and glucose control in patients with CP and ARP following total pancreatectomy with islet auto-transplantation (TPIAT).
