Surgery is usually considered when pain management fails with medical and endoscopic therapies. The goals of surgery include effective pain relief and preservation of long-term pancreatic function. Surgery for chronic<unk>  tends to be divided into two classes - resectional and drainage procedures. Dilated pancreatic duct may be managed with lateral pancreaticojejunostomy (LPJ) and lateral pancreaticojejunostomy with localized pancreatic head resection. Nondilated pancreatic duct is usually managed with pancreaticoduodenectomy, duodenal-preserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR), distal pancreatectomy (DP) and total pancreatectomy (TP).
