Frey's procedure using the harmonic scalpel.

Frey's procedure, which is performed for chronic pancreatitis, principally involves coring of the head of the pancreas and pancreaticojejunostomy. The coring of the inflamed and enlarged pancreatic head is the most difficult and time-consuming part of this operation and is often associated with considerable bleeding. We used the harmonic scalpel to perform Frey's procedure in six consecutive patients, which reduced intraoperative bleeding and made the operation technically easier.

Biliary Complications of Pancreatic Necrosis.

Pancreatic necrosis has the potential to cause avariety of locoregional complications (1). This isbecause of the propensity of the necrotic tissue tospread far beyond the confines of the pancreas. Theproximity of the biliary tract to the pancreas makesit particularly vulnerable to damage by the inflammatory process, and though likely, there are only isolated case reports of involvement of the biliarytract through the necrotic process (2-5). This papershares our experience in managing six patients withbiliary complications of pancreatic necrosis.
